QuoteAmong cases with multiple convictions, consecutive sentences are more likely to be applied when criminal cases involve offenses that occurred in multiple counties, the offenses are serious or violent, the most serious offense is a crime against a person, or the individual has prior prison admissions for serious or violent crimes.


● People who are admitted with second and third-strike enhancements are much more likely to receive consecutive sentences (18 and 12 percentage points more likely, respectively) relative to admissions with multiple convictions without these enhancements.


Yeah concurrent is frequent in the states but generally if there is a cleanish criminal record behind you. But for more violent crimes, serial offenders etc they go consecutive generally speaking. Which is a lot better than here. You'll be hard pressed to find evidence of a consecutive sentence in Ireland. 



Its kinds like those supermarkets where you buy one, cheapest one is free.

I wonder if Nolans child or relative was on one of those horrendous images would he be as quick to roll out the suspended sentence to this shitstain.

A whopping 108 prior convictions. A new low by Irish standards. Obviously a hopeless case that should've been locked up in either a mental institution or a prison. Yet once again the innocent are not protected and this nut job got to ruin someone else's life.

Fuck me pink. This bit in particular stood out;

QuoteMr Justice McDermott noted that partly suspended sentences previously failed to ensure any change in O'Sullivan's behaviour

Like, no fucking shit they didn't change his behaviours. They effectively told this cretin "do what you want, you won't be punished properly".
