Mod warning #1: Seven Dublin men given prison terms ranging from 12-20 years for raid

Funny reading some of the Facebook posts of 1 of the guilty party's girlfriend. Has a young child too. Fu(king deluded. I wonder how she would feel if a gang broke in on her and her kid and was threatened in the same manner.

Absolute scotes, the lot of them.

Without doxxing her, what kind of stuff is she saying?

Does this suspended sentencing actually work or is it just to reduce Prison over-crowding??

I really don't think it discourages good behavior upon release. No sign of remorse from these ***ker's, only sorry that they got caught.

For first time/one time only offenders yes it would be quite effective, no point in jailing someone unless they are an actual danger to the public. So someone having a jail sentence hanging over them for a year is a big issue.

For guys like these it is useless.

They are a danger, but they will be eventually released and be much, much worse after that length of time in an Irish prison.

Great to see judge here for giving a meaningful sentence to these scum
Combined 107 Years for the 7 of them for aggravated burglary. No doubt influenced by recent spate of similar crimes.

Seven Dublin men who admitted carrying out an aggravated burglary on a family home in Co Tipperary two years ago have received a range of sentences totaling 105 years.
The men broke into the home of Mark and Emma Corcoran at Burnchurch, near Killenaul in November 2013.
The couple’s three young daughters, who were aged eight, six and two, were also in the house at the time.
Judge Tom Teehan handed down the sentences at Clonmel District Court.
Two of the men - Dean Byrne, 22, of Cabra Park and Patrick Gately, 27, of Primrose Grove in Darndale were both sentenced to 20 years in prison, both with four suspended.
John Joyce, 20, of Lentisk Lawn, Donaghmede was sentenced to 15 years with four suspended and Patrick Joyce, 22, of Beaumont Hall, Beaumont Woods was sentenced to 14 years with four suspended.
Thomas Flynn, 20, of Moatview Avenue, Coolock was jailed for 12 years with three suspended, while Michael McDonagh, 23, of Tara Lawns, Belcamp Lane, Coolock and Donal O’Hara from Glin Park in Coolock were both sentenced to 12 years, both with seven suspended.
Judge Teehan said an awful lot of violence was used and the violation of all the rights associated with the family and family home had been committed by the gang.
He said the crime fell into the higher range of the offences committed, and while the maximum possible sentence in a case of aggravated burglary is life in prison, Judge Teehan said he did not feel that was correct in this case although he had considered it.
He said the level of gratuitous violence used on Mr and Mrs Corcoran was terrifying and he also had to be a voice for the children.
Speaking directly to the couple he said he could not believe the pain and suffering they had had to endure and wished them well for the future.
The court previously heard that all seven men had travelled originally in two separate cars to the Corcoran's house.
Mr Corcoran was involved in selling gym equipment around the country.
During the burglary Mrs Corcoran managed to dial 999 and left her mobile phone turned on for around seven minutes.
Gardaí in Thurles could hear what was happening during the raid.
Detective Sergeant James White had told the court that he had heard the subsequent recording a number of times and one of the most audible things on it is the terrified, piercing screams of the children.
Mrs Corcoran said she told the raiders that her children were in the house and was told "we'll kill your f***ing kids".

Meanwhile somewhere else in the country a murderer/rapist is probably getting a 10 year sentence with 5 years suspended :rolleyes:

What the hell are you on about? Your post is stupid as hell.

If you murder someone in this country the average time you'll spend in prison is 20 years.

You are then on licence for the rest of your life where you can be called back to prison at any time.

THis was in the district court. They can appeal the severity (ish) I presume of the sentance.
