What does it take to receive a custodial sentence in this country?

you want to see how cops behave when their own are injured? Look up the Love Ulster riots....the gardai made sure that every toerag who took part was tracked down and nicked for riotous behaviour. For about three years after, the papers would frequently have small sidebars mentioning that a named individual was jailed for being involved in the riots. It caught my attention because it would have taken a huge effort to nail these people because many of them were random rioters who vanished once the main event was over. The gardai can be diligent when they want to...

you really wonder what you have to do to get a custodial sentence - a guy with 40 something previous convictions got of today for selling heroin - saying he thought it was fake, then he escaped from the Garda station - he got the probation act , (which i thought was for first offenders) - has Judge Ryan any idea of the destruction heroin addiction has caused and is causing to communities around Ireland ?

He'd be a massive pain in the arse to the prison service, I suspect that he has deep physiological problems and that would pose an issue in jailing him - quite right of the Judge to try all other avenues before jailing him which will happen in two weeks if the conditions imposed are not met.

He'll be more than a 'pain in the arse' to the next person he assaults

Convicted sex offender initially given suspended sentence jailed after 'coming to garda attention five times since May'

Garda Padraig Nagle told the court that since last May Ghariani had come to garda attention five times. On one occasion he stared at a 17-year-old girl after she walked past his home before following her in a car to a house.
On June 23 a motorist allegedly saw Ghariani walking along a road with his trousers down and making movements towards the front of his body. On a third occasion he allegedly stole a mobile phone from a woman.

He needs to be locked up.

Judges need to be held accountable for the crimes their "let off's" are committing.

There needs to be a motion for civil action for negligence

Another one of those highly skilled, model workers that are going to power the Irish and European economy into the 21st century.

Well that's what the Far-Left and certain politicians keep telling us all anyway.
