Garda to be sentenced for assaulting RTE cameraman
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Not guilty
Finding: Convicted
Outcome: Convicted; Mr Dwyer asked the court to consider Section 100 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006, in which a fine can be imposed and a sentence deferred to a later date. The court can order certain conditions to be met and if these are complied with, the deferred sentence is not imposed.; Judge Melanie Greally told Mr Dwyer this was "quite a big ask in the circumstances" and adjourned finalisation of the case until next Friday.
