Man fined €1,500 for dangerous driving causing death gets suspended sentence, despite undue leniency
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: However, Mr Justice Hardiman said the exercise was not to impose the sentence that should have been imposed in June 2011, but rather the sentence that is appropriate today. He said the court would impose a sentence of four years imprisonment suspended for the period of the eight year driving disqualification.
