On bail robber who claimed he was in IRA is jailed
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Garda Kate Bracken told the court that Doherty was on bail at the time of his offence and is currently serving a five-year prison sentence. After taking into consideration Doherty's guilty plea, his mental health issues, his apology and remorse, his long-term dependency on drugs and his chaotic, troubled and problematic childhood, Judge McCourt reduced the prison term to four years to run consecutively to his current prison sentence.
