'Red mist' saw dad-of-five fire handgun at youths
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Credit: Collins) A father-of-five who fired shots in a residential area in broad daylight "when the red mist went down" has been jailed for three-and-a-half years. Judge Nolan acknowledged that Hoolohan is "a good family man with responsibility" and has served his community but said he must impose a custodial sentence. "It seems that this was not a feud but rather a dispute that sometimes occurs in neighbourhoods where parents react in a disproportionate manner," Judge Nolan said before he jailed Hoolohan for three-and-a-half years.
