Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: However, he said that O'Neill had "misbehaved on two occasions and deserves a prison sentence" before going on to impose a global sentence of three years. Giollaíosa Ó Lideadha, SC, defending, asked Judge Martin Nolan if he would consider suspending any part of this sentence, to which the judge replied: "I think he can change his own life and does not need the supervision of the court to do so." Carol Doherty BL, prosecuting, told the court that gardaí obtained a search warrant for O'Neill's address and searched the home on May 3, 2022.
