That sentence really makes you think how little value some lives are given.
If you want to kill someone in Ireland, do it with a car
What a disgrace!
God, you feel horrible for the family, but I really don’t get the instinct to throw this guy in jail. He’s banned from driving, has a permanent criminal record and has to live with the guilt for the rest of his life. What extra good does it do for the taxpayer to pay for a forced stay in a shit hotel for a while?
RIP to the dead man, what a horrible way to go
He’s playing for a local GAA team, right? That explains a lot.
In my personal opinion a custodial sentence was a must in this case and any similar case at a minimum.
I’ve got reservations over suspended and concurrent sentences. I am not opposed to them, but I think they are used far too often.
But, in any circumstances, when your direct negligence causes the death of someone else, a 17-month sentence, suspended or not, does not at all seem sufficient.
“Yes, your honour, I kicked that young man’s head in, but guess what else I kick? A GAA ball.”
“Fair play to ya. Case dismissed.”
