"Institutionalised" convicted killer robbed shops with blood-filled syringe
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Fiona Murphy BL, prosecuting, told Judge Nolan that Rooney Dignam was on bail when he committed the last two robberies so those sentences had to be consecutive to the first offence. He imposed a six year sentence with the final 18 months suspended.
