The reporting
newest first- 15 May2023Limerick man gets suspended jail sentence for attack on uncle
Reports the sentencing at Kilmallock District Court: three weeks in jail suspended for one year, bail of €100 fixed for any appeal, and ten previous convictions noted. Peter O'Mahony's age (28) and address (Glenfield House, Kilmallock) match an existing careless-driving case, but the offence differs, so it is not treated as the same case.
