Mentally-ill man damaged de Valera headstone
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Handing down a suspended two-year sentence today, Judge Martin Nolan said it would be inappropriate to impose a custodial sentence on Moore, given his mental health difficulties at the time of the offence. "It was the irrational act of a person having great difficulties in his life," Judge Nolan said.
