Man who carried out bogus charity collection sentenced to four months in prison
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Judge Dermot Dempsey said he was 'not impressed' with McDonagh and the fact that the 21-year-old has previously been given the benefit of a Probation order, he did not think he would be suitable for community service. He convicted and sentenced him to four months in prison and fixed recognisance in the event of an appeal. 'He has already been given an opportunity to stay out of trouble,' said Judge Dempsey.
