Man wrote to gardai confessing abuse of sister
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: He imposed concurrent two-year sentences for the remaining offences and imposed a one-year post release supervision order, ordering that Sheehan engage with the Probation Service for a year upon his ultimate release from prison. Sheehan took the stand at his sentence hearing to read out a letter of apology to his sister, in which he said he hoped she could forgive his delay in facing up to his offending. "I hope this brings you peace," Sheehan said.
