THE PRIDE LANDS of Africa are coming to your living room tonight and Ryan Tubridy is promising an evening of ‘no worries’ with the Late Late Toy Show’s Lion King theme.
“Everyone has been locked up for a long time and that’s why we need to head out into the wild and join our friends in The Lion King,” presenter Ryan Tubridy said ahead of the show tonight.
“This isn’t just a theme; it is a movement. Every child can leave the house and leave the room and leave the kitchen and roam free in the jungle of their families because they are the boss tonight. So, it is the future, it is wild, and it is beautiful.”
Speaking to reporters, Tubridy said he had been “bowled over” by the resilience of children during the pandemic.
“Just when you thought kids couldn’t be more impressive and amazing,” he said.
He said he is also conscious that people have high expectations as they look to the Toy Show to lift their spirits.
“People are sad, people are worn out, people are weary and they’re looking at us to say ‘give us some colour in our lives, brighten our day’, he said. “And that’s that’s a big ask because I don’t want to let people down.”
The Toy Show host had a special message for children as they look forward to the show tonight:
Children, you’re in charge. You’re the boss now, for this night, on one night only, your parents are your slaves. You do what you want to do, you eat what you want to eat, you say what you want to say, and you stay up for as long as you want to stay up. And when the parents of Ireland are peeling their children from the ceilings and walls, I say to them; you’re welcome.
He also reminded children not to “ask for too much” because of supply line issues in the North Pole.
Tubridy said Santa had been in touch and told him that he and his elves are “flat out” and he’s asking children to be conscious of that when asking for toys.
Ahead of the show tonight Tubridy encouraged people to shop this Christmas in smaller local businesses, which he said had had a “big struggle” since the start of the pandemic.
“From the get go, that’s been something very close to my heart, whether it’s the independent bookshops, or for the day that’s in it, it’s it’s toy shops,” he said. “So every village and town in Ireland generally has a bookshop or a toy shop, used to have a post office, whatever it might be.
They’re the the heartbeat of the community. And if they’re gone, where do people go to meet somebody else to come up with ideas to keep the community story alive? It’s really awful.
“So what we’ve got to do is, yes, of course, it’s convenient sometimes and yes,I understand sometimes it’s a little cheaper to buy online, but if you can, to keep the shops and the family businesses that have been there for decades and decades going. I would urge people to get the toys, on their books or whatever they can from there, because they need it in a way that Jeff Bezos doesn’t.”
The Late Late Toy Show airs today at 9.35 pm on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player. The Toy Show appeal, which raised €6.6 million last year, is running again this year and donations can be made here.

483 convictions and still not out! You have to love the judicial system in this country!
No tax, licence, NCT, or insurance. He doesn’t care.
There’s a photo of him on the Indo website. Nasty looking.
Insanity. Absolute insanity the judge in charge of this should be suspended immediately and investigated for serious misconduct. Everyone else in the justice system, including the guards are getting the legs investigated off them all while the judges are making a mockery of the basic principles of justice and the Irish people on a daily basis. I’ve generally no words for this one.
Never mind just noticed it’s Martin Nolan. A clown of the higest order who has a history of questionable leinacy towards sex offenders and violent criminals. Coward.
He’ll be back driving in six months
How in the name of God do you have the time to accumulate nearly 500 previous convictions.18 months! he will probably do about 6 at a push
Beyond belief danny!!!
DPP should immediately lodge an appeal due to undue leniency.
@john culhane: Am in shock, how in the name of all things right is it even possible to be allowed out in society with that number of convictions? He should have been locked up for life at ten.
Should have got ten years.
@john culhane: I wonder how soon after his release he’ll make the 500.
Totally agree with you Danny. It seems a person has to commit murder in this country before a proper custodial sentence is imposed.
John culhane I’ve just Googled judge Martin Nolan . In 2012 he sentenced a food importer to 6 years in jail for not paying taxes. He’s clearly delusional & should be committed. It seems to me reading between the lines that he relishes the notoriety.
A proper sentence you say sure your man on hoath hill got four years for murdering his wife even though it was said if he had called an ambulance she would have survived
Don’t pay your TV licence and off to jail you go.
The maximum sentence for careless driving causing death is two years. He couldn’t have got more than that.
4 years is not a proper sentence for murder for sure Carmel. Must have been Martin Nolan who sentenced him.
And NO license, NO insurance , NO NCT and drunk. So he could have got more than two years.
In fairness to the judge he had his hands tied. The insanity is with the ddp who took a lesser guilty charge of careless driving when they sought dangerous driving.
It’s the ddp problems….they took a guilty charge of careless driving which is only 24 month max.
Any other country that would be 18 YEARS.
18 months??? FFS!
Take away his linence for ever . This idiot is not ok on a bike . He should have done a stretch of five years.
And hundreds, hundreds of convictions…
Doesn’t have a licence so that won’t stop him. He needs to be tagged for life.
Absolutely no point in taking away a licence or banning this guy. With the amount of offences he’s committed and they are just the one’s he was caught for its painfully obvious he has decided that the rule of law doesn’t apply to him. The minute this guy is out what are the odds he’ll be back behind the wheel regardless of driving no licence or insurance etc..
Judge Martin. Say no more.
He doesn’t have a licence to get taken away.
alan he.had no licence. you can’t take it away
@Alan Scott: Taking away his license won’t work. Sure he didn’t even have a license when he committed the offence. It’s lads like these who just don’t give a flying boll0x. The only way to keep him off the roads is to lock him up and throw away the key
This SB wouldn’t care if they took away his license, he doesn’t have one and will drive anyway when he’s out.
He had no license at the time of the crash Alan. Neither did he have car insurance, tax or NCT. The only way to keep this maniac off the roads is with a very long custodial sentence. Unfortunately the judges in this country are literally a law unto themselves.
Dirty low down Sc¥mbag should spend the rest of his life behind bars
@John Doyle:yes and so should the idiod judge ,they must be buddies.
Way too lenient. RIP to the young man and condolences to his family.
Hard to believe that judge is a former Garda
Seriously – 18mts ?!?! Come on Judge, get real
you’d wonder how someone above them wouldn’t just say “come here, throw a 0 on the end of that 18 and get real or your on probation”.
This 18month sentence is an insult to this young man who lost his life, his family, his friends, to all emergencies services and the guards who are out there, day in and day out, picking up the pieces. It’s an insult to every law abiding citizen in this country.
His letter of remorse was such an insult to the family too. You can’t take seriously someone who has that many previous convictions.
We’re consistently seeing ridiculous sentences handed out by judges, but this one is just beyond belief. How is someone with that amount of previous convictions even on the streets in the first place? Utter sc#m.
This sentencing bothers me so much. I actually want to write to this judge and ask for an explanation on his sentencing? Anyone know if it’s even worth my while? I can’t imgaine how That family must feel
Tweet Francis Fitzgerald and let her know your opinion
It beggars belief. I want to puke.
People should start doing that. Repeat offenders with multiple convictions and barely seeing jailtime , violent crimes committed on bail etc. Its not guards fault. They are catching these low-lifes and getting them in front of the courts. Its the courts letting the system down. Frances is head of this mess. Everybody should tweet her
Good old Irish justice. How long did the judge hug the defendant after he sentenced him?
Judge sees him more than his wife at this stage.
The judge should be sacked for incompetence. This is a utter disgrace.
Martin Nolan. Look him up, there’s been numerous calls for him to resign, there was even a petition a while ago. An utter joke and an embarrassment to his profession.
This politically appointed socalled “judge” and his ilk are what is wrong with the Irish justice system.
18 months ?? what is going on in our courts how can that possibly be justice.
Unbelievable. What kind of message does this send out. Extermination is the answer for low life $c*m like this.
The judge should be fired too.
Disgraceful sentence! 18 months is apparently what the life of another is worth!
There are no words.
WTF is wrong with judges in this country? Are they corrupt or just mentally handicapped? Pick 1. No other explanation.
No just this judge. Have a look at some of his previous cases. The man is alaw onto himself. Must really frustrate judges who actually give a shit about the sentence fitting the crime
@James O Malley: it’s not “just this judge” though.
Judge Pauline Codd – Taxi driver who sexually assaulted a woman and ‘maligned’ her character in court jailed for six months
Justice Patrick McCarthy – Internet café manager jailed for six years for kicking customer to death
Justice Desmond Hogan – 6 months for a guy who admitted rape (gave 6 years, with 5.5 suspended)
“Justice”….Irish style. What a joke.
Ireland should introduce the 600 strikes rule, 600 convictions = life in prison (5 years with good behaviour)
600 ?!???!!!?
Make it 300, more than fair. Exceed that number and your citizenship is revoked along with all constitutional rights.
Ah Jesus. 18 months, which probably means 10 months. 483 previous convictions, and those are just for the ones that he was caught. Enough is enough. This country is a disgrace. I’ve had enough
In the US there is (I believe) a minimum of a 10 year sentence for vehicular man slaughter. And that is for a driver that is stone cold sober, driving within the speed limit and does something stupid that results in the death of someone.
How many will march this weekend for justice for victims of this creep and his likes?? Thousands marched last week against a newly elected President of a foreign country. Where are they this weekend??
Well said @John Campbell….. The March last weekend was the new fad, beepin sheep whole lot of them. Not a chance would 95% of them out marching last weekend even consider marching for something like this.
It wouldn’t surprise me in the future if citizens fed up with the judiciary and the ‘sentences’ they dish out, eventually take the law into their own hands.
That judge Martin Nolan not fit to be on the bench. Jails a guy for 6 years over vat on garlic & allows an arch criminal to virtually walk despite killing a young man. This guy is a clown.
john was he the judge who tried the garlic man?
Yep. Same gent.
I remember feeling horrified at the harsh sentence for not paying correct taxes on garlic imports. Same judge, horrified again – this time sentence too light. How was this guy roaming free to kill someone anyway? Who is responsible?
Do the Irish people have no right to proper judicial rulings? This is not the only judge to raise eyebrows over undue leniency – how are things going to better if criminals don’t have to fear the justice system ?
18 months is a joke but a bigger joke is that he was out on the street to do this 484 convictions but you won’t hear one politician with the balls to take on the legal system
Sickening sentence. This chap will never learn. Whether he has taken a young mans life or not. A young man who’s head was screwed on. An apprentice mechanic. Fully taxed and insured. His whole life ahead of him cruelly taken by a complete and utter waster. I really do feel for this young mans family.
Disgraceful, deepest sympathies to the young man’s family. Justice was not served.
18 mths , ffs he should be exterminated.
The DPP needs to get on this immediately and have it looked at for being so lenient.
@Johnny Rotten: You can take it to the bank that they will appeal this incredibly inadequate sentence.
The message from the judge, regardless if his hands were tied in sentencing, ignore the rules of the road as often as you like because in the worse case scenario you’ll do a year with good behaviour in the slammer.
Sweet Jesus, the mind boggles
Judicial system needs a serious overhaul, These terms are an insult to victims
why is this not manslaughter?
@Cathal Mac Einri: Good question. Drunken man with 250 previous trafficking offences gets into a car with no tax, no insurance, driving at 165 kmh – what could possibly go wrong.
I cannot get my head around this statement from the Judge:
“He said that although drink was a factor, the real factor in the case was Lynch’s speed and how he could not avoid the collision because he was driving at such speed.”
Astonishing.
@Linda Nolan: Exactly, this guy should serve the rest of his natural life in prison, and this lenient judge should join him there
@Larissa Caroline Nikolaus:
I missed this part reported on another site:
“Father-of-three Lynch was drunk and had no driving license, ”
He broke the law by getting into a car with no driving licence.
He broke the law by driving with no tax, no insurance, no NCT.
He broke the law by being drunk.
And yet the Judge said that “speed” was the real factor.
How was he not in prison?
And was it 6 years for importing garlic? This is some Republic.
This should have been a manslaughter charge with a minimum 9 year term in gaol.
So infuriating. How can he only get 18 months for this after 483 convictions. How are that family supposed to accept this??
Meanwhile in the UK a man with no previous convictions and a clean driving record is jailed for 3 years for causing serious injuries after driving at speed. There is no value on life in this country. None. It’s disgusting.
Well done to the Gardai for following up and getting this guy extradited. But what message does the judge give the Gardai, community and anyone that might drink drive or speed? He has also set a precedence for future sentencing. If a judge goes hard on another case it will be challenged based on this judgement.
As this case should be challenged for being too lenient. Can martin nolan cannot be fired by a panel of his peers for incompetence?
Unf**kinbelievable . Sentences like this make u want to take the law into your own hands!!
Beyond comprehension!! How did he get a charge of wreckless driving for killing someone, this is vehicular manslaughter..
The definition of Ireland today
Leave him out to roam free and basically commit muder , lock the inept and detached from reality fools that let him walk around with that amount of convictions. I can absolutely guarantee you that if he was involved in killing or injuring someone belonging to a judge or a political figure he would have been locked up years ago. “Great little country eh !!! “
Theres 483 judges that should be convicted for malpractice & negligence and the parents of that teen who died should press charges against the Irish judicial system because they’ve failed them
In case anyone else didn’t see how sh%#* you are at your job judge ………4-8-3
People laugh at you absolutely pathetic. No balls. Unfit for purpose. What I’m the name of ;):%# is wrong with you.
Caused a death and 483 convictions. Like can you email a minister and ask for accountability??? How does this get fixed
“He said that although drink was a factor, the real factor in the case was Lynch’s speed and how he could not avoid the collision because he was driving at such speed.”
Wow. The real factor:
“Eamon Lynch has almost 500 convictions which include 280 for traffic offences and 50 for burglary.”
Is this mans blatant, utter and complete disregard of the law.
Caught and prosecuted for 483 convictions? In reality this means he’s committed at least a thousand offences that he got away with.No doubt if he had also died in the crash it would have been reported that he was attempting to rehabilitate himself or he had turned a new leaf or some other utter nonsense.18 months is farcical.
18 f#*kin months, is that all you get for murder in this land??? cause that’s what he’s done, he murdered that poor child
Like the judge has one job and he’s absolutely crap at it. Pathetic absolutely pathetic. 483 than a death caused by him. Put him in for a year and a bit that’ll teach him.
Limescale slime pathetic coward weak at job unaccountable – judge.
Biggest loser laughing stock of society – defendant.
Literally Ireland is laughing at both of them.
This is f’en madness! 18 months? That judge should be disbarred. Where are the rights of the victims in this country
This fool should not be a judge.
Another light sentence from this particular judge. Time for a 3-strikes law.
• 483 convictions • no license • no insurance • no tax • no NCT • 165km speeding at LEAST 65 km over the limit, assuming he passed a petrol station the limit would have been less than 100km • CCTV evidence of the incident 18 months That’s enough news for today.
It will only be a matter of time before the family of one of these victims decides to get proper justice.I know if it was my son or brother this would be the last conviction that the perpetrator would receive.
The family of this young victim should consider suing the state. After so many previous convictions having a toe rag like that kill your son is sickening. The state is clearly negligent. Making an issue of it can only help prevent it happening all the time. RIP Shane.
Oh my God I just cannot believe this! 18 months with 500 convictions!! I just hope and pray that the DPP immediately appeals this sentence as being ridiculously lenient. When is this going to stop? These judges handing down these “holiday breaks” to these heartless thugs.He is never going to change his ways .never! I’m fuming here reading this. The thug who crashed into me at 80 km an hour was the exact same. No insurance no licence no nct and twice over the limit.Destroyed my car. Got free legal aid and is out on bail. The laws are a complete joke. That poor family are ruined for life after losing their lovely son and brother. I don’t care one jot what type of remorse this horrible creep shows. He does not mean any of it.
http://www.thejournal.ie/teen-spent-money-put-into-account-3181320-Jan2017/ And this young lad got 2 years?!! Seriously like, f*ck off.
4 – 8 – 3
Petition for the resignation of Judge Nolan
https://www.change.org/p/call-for-the-resignation-of-judge-martin-nolan
It’s an old petition unfortunately, can’t sign anymore and doesn’t look like it did any good as this was set up 3yrs ago and he’s still working (badly). Maybe a new one should be set up specifically questioning this case
Oh my god it gets worse. is there anything to be done with the irish justice system? The hse is bad enough but the justice system is in total chaos.
Can someone please explain, how someone with nearly 500 previous convictions, is allowed to kill someone, and then just gets sentenced to 18 months, which he probably won’t even serve in full? This guy is clearly as much a danger to society as your run of the mill murderer, and should be locked away for good.
How do we stop this? We are all outraged. Let’s do something about it! The worst thing about this country is not the inefficient systems, it’s the culture of ‘ah sure it’ll be grand’ that does f@ck all to change those systems. That’s really what makes me sick. The judicial system is too forgiving. It’s really the courts fault that caused the death of Shane Patton; and the complacency that created that sentence.
The judge should be charged with negligence and gross misconduct..obviously not fit for the job..jail might teach him
Did he not get any sentence for killing this poor boy? Just for dangerous and drink driving? Pervious convictions taken into consideration? How? He got almost 500 previous, he killed a boy yet gets total of 21months just for dangerous and drink driving!!! How is this OK?????
If you have over 50 convictions, I think you should be summarily executed.
Fuucking disgrace as a judge.
The justice system and this judge isn’t fit for purpose. This criminal should have the same crime committed on him. Hit with a car n the car left on top of him.
And the Chief Justice is throwing her toys out of the pram over us the public having a lay majority on the new appointments set up for Judges. Even Fianna Fail (lawyers) and the Labour Party (lawyers) are upset at Shane Ross upsetting the lucrative judicial closed shop. And our liberal media wonder why people voted for Trump.
A lot of this goes on in border areas. Kids aping those who have no respect for law and order.
@Paddy Lions
Theres only one ape on here
Hope he does away with himself he should drink bleach
1 conviction that’s your problem , 483 that’s everyone else’s problem.
judge Martin Nolan. does he always give such rediculous sentences? what about the other 499 convictions? what judge freed him on conviction number 499. We need to know. be should be disbarred.
Don’t forget, this bag of excrement has 50 previous for burglary. This sewer rat should just be stamped into the ground like a fag butt. He will never be of any use to anyone, not even himself and will spend the rest of his life bringing misery to others. Sewage is all he is.
18 months? That is an absolute joke and a total insult to that poor boy.
This man should not be allowed to walk in public anymore, let alone drive. No discs, or license. Meanwhile our insurance premium climbs through the roof, to cover idiots like him. Driving offences in the hundreds, burglary, murder = little break in jail. But they can lock up a mother of three for not being her TV (or was it Bins?) license. That aplogy… “I will never in my lifetime get over this….” Ah, the remorse! He’s sorry, so we don’t need to punish him further. I wonder did he use a similar script the 483 times before? The poor family of that young man! What an insult!
I actually feel sick reading this
FFS, if that was my boy that fuc$%^ judge, would be in serious problems!
Now here’s a cause worth marching over. get rid of judge Martin
I hope this c#&t dies from gonorrhea.
18 months?
That is utterly disgraceful, he should be inside for life.
Cases like this make you think that there are certain people who just do not belong in human society. In bygone days he would have fetched up in Australia or Tazmania. I’ve always felt there might be role for the Blasket Islands as a penal colony where you could banish people like this.
More typical spinelessness from the judiciary. It’s happening every day now; utter s¢um get off with a slap on the wrist for serious criminal activity, let off by a judge with a twisted sense of justice. Why do criminals get concurrent sentences, he should’ve gotten 18 years with an extra 3, no parole because of the HUNDREDS of convictions.
Disgraceful sentence.
This not justice! Ireland 2017
How do Irish judges sleep at night? Just how?
Judge Nolan strikes again, he is so incompetent should be struck off.
Judges who allowed this individual on our streets should be held responsible for this death… utter failure on the court system here.
18 months, bloody hell. How is that justice.
When is it enough that the judges of this country are so dreadfully bad that this conviction and insult of a sentence is allowed to happen. 18 months for travelling at speed while drunk and killing someone, and then flee to northern Ireland to evade capture is all he gets. Near 500 convictions the fella should be put down as he clearly has no regard for anyone but himself. Nolan and others must be held accountable as it shows the criminals nothing but respect if this poor sentence stands. Should have been 10 times the sentence
The scales of justice tilted against the innocent victim. A very poor reflection on our society.
This is a picture of what it looks like. It should never be allowed out in the public domain EVER again. Too much of this happening. Law system is totally broken by law makers to make more more for themselves and their colleagues
It’s time judges were forced to explain the reasons for their sentences.
I am truly sickened by this. That poor family. I can’t imagine what they have been though which is made all the worse by this joke of a sentence. The more I see what goes on in this country the more I’m convinced we mean nothing to those who consider themselves our betters, the ruling class. It used be that they hid it, they don’t even bother trying now.
This judge should be sacked. He has serious form. http://www.broadsheet.ie/?s=judge+Martin+Nolan&submit=Search
I was sure the headline writer was out late last night, and accidentally typed “months” instead of “years” – then I read the article. How could the victim’s family have any faith in “justice” or the Irish legal system after this?
It’s no wonder he had so many convictions after getting away so lightly all along.. shame on our judicial system..
Family of victim should ensure he is a dead man walking … quietly !
I truly cannot articulate how angry this article made me feel. The judicial system in this country is a joke
Absolutely shameful. The DPP should be made apologise and explain in person to that poor lads parents why his life is only worth 18 months.
The minister for justice should serve this sentence. Failing to protect the public by letting someone with 400 odd convictions to roam around the streets as he pleases.. He should be serving life.
This makes my blood ….an absolute insult to that poor boy that passed and his family. The whole system is a joke ……as far as I’m concerned if you kill someone while driving you should never drive again …..that poor family will never see their lived one ever again so why should that absolute waster be allowed in a car again …. The max for killing someone for dangerous driving is 10 years which in itself is so so wrong but 18mth is beyond wrong,this man obviously has no respect for society with 483 convictions and Im sorry I don’t believe for a minute his remorse as his past record of convictions speaks for itself …..we have personal heart breaking experience of a situation were a very loved one was killed through someone else and so it breaks my heart when I read things like this ……god bless that family & and I hope that poor boy rests in peace x
Who needs courts with clowns on the benches letting these filth bags back on the streets,judge should be sent down himself for that sentence
This is the biggest bulls**t Ive ever seen in my entire life. 483 convictions,250 for ROAD OFFENSES, killed somebody on the road, flee the country and 18 months…. Is this an Irish justice system? Well done Martin
Martin Nolan does it again and again and again and again
Martin your a JOKE, you hadn’t the balls to put that guy away for a long time , Sick Irish Justice.Remorse me arse ,just furious over leniency of Sentence but then all our judges are the same
Crazy jail sentence. He shud b locked away n starved 2 d brink of death
Martin Nolan does it again! And again and again and agian.
Bullet in the back of the head is what he needs
483 convictions and 18 months???wtf
18 months with that many convictions!! Bloody joke!! makes my stomach turn
The max for a careless driving is 24 months. It’s the ddp who should be called to a count
Outrageous lucky bag courts
18months???….what a disgrace..where’s the justice in that???…shocking from the judge,if it was his son who was killed,he would want a tougher sentence…unbelievable..
While it is terrible……he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of careless driving rather than dangerous driving. The ddp took it rather risk him getting off on some bullshit technicality. He is a parsite
Was the last government promising an overhaul of the legal system?
Could we get a factcheck on some of these ridiculous sentences and how they are calculated please.
Based on the facts gathered perhaps we can come up with solutions to the problems because what we are at is just senseless.
The Irish judicial system in this country is a complete and utter joke with the Judges a national disgrace!
Careless driving charge?! But a man died from his injuries due to an accident that this guy caused?! Surely it is manslaughter?! I don’t understand. Someone explain! Cannot get over how little of a sentence he got. The mind boggles…
In fairness to Mr. Lynch of Wesley St, Derry, he has only clocked up 11 convictions in the last 4 years. So he’s obviously turned his life around? Perhaps not. His solicitor should be Eamoned, along with the judge.
So a criminal mindset will always lead to injury or death… That is what that says to me?
Fifty convictions for burglary alone. Unbelievable. I’m sure he’ll turn over a new leaf inside. Where is the deterrent for the likes of this guy..?
Was reading up on this yesterday, it seems the judges hands were tied. The DPP are to blame here. They accepted the plea of a charge of careless driving instead of dangerous driving. What constitutes dangerous driving who knows? Maybe blocking on Joan’s car? Shameful.
everyone deserves a second chance but after a couple a 100 its not looking like slap on the wrist will do it
Bullet brain. Jobs oxo.
Total disgrace that he only got 18 months. I sincerely hope that it’s reviewed and he gets many multiple times the sentence, otherwise it’s totally unfair.
NO apology is sufficient.
Judge Nolan and DPP either corrupt or incompetent or both.
If there was ever a case for reintroducing the death penalty a dangerous joker like this gurrier would make a good case. Aside from killing a young lad the amount of lives he has affected through the sheer volume of his criminality must be astounding
Are the judges afraid of these people or maybe getting paid to keep the numbers down in jails because of over crowding. Nearly 500 convictions & a death on his hands. There is something seriously wrong & I really think it should be looked into why soooo many lenient sentences .wrong wrong wrong
This moron needs to be jailed for life, he is a danger to the rest of society which needs to be protected from this t w at
Only in Ireland. Gotta love the stupidity of this. Bravo!
have your say
