I think we need to keep track on the largest number of convictions.
122*.

His convictions to age ratio is incredibly high. âHeâs doing wellâ equates to honing his skills and discussing tactics with more experienced hoods. An extension of 10 years to his holiday would bring the required adjustmentsâŚ.

Tough case, doesnât seem to be much in it, hopefully the judge will see sense
Looks like Barbie Kardashian wasnât too far off the mark. See the second story below.
A woman who murdered her boyfriendâs four-year-old son, who died after suffering severe head and liver injuries, has been jailed for life at the Central Criminal Court.
Tegan McGhee (32), a native of Limerick, had pleaded guilty four days into her trial last November to the murder of Mason OâConnell-Conway.
McGhee had also admitted charges of child cruelty.
Mason died on March 16th, 2021 due to injuries suffered three days earlier at the rented home at Sycamore Avenue in Limerick city where McGhee then lived with her then partner, John Paul OâConnell.
OâConnell (36) is separately serving a seven-year jail sentence after pleading guilty to endangerment, neglect and impeding the apprehension or prosecution of McGhee, knowing or believing she had murdered his son.
The trial judge, Mr Justice Paul McDermott, said Oâ Connellâs actions were âshamefulâ and he bore a high level of criminal responsibility for failing to nurture and protect his son.
In a victim impact statement read during a hearing to sentence McGhee this week, the childâs mother, Elizabeth Conway, said the life of her beautiful and loving little boy, who was very protective of herself, his siblings and half siblings, was taken by âpure evilâ. During todayâs hearing, Ms Conway, who was accompanied by family members, held a small woollen hat, the hat worn by Mason in a framed photograph she had placed on the witness bench when reading her statement on Monday.
She had trusted her child would be cared for by OâConnell and McGhee and is haunted by what he endured in his final weeks of life, she said. âThe word that comes to mind is âbetrayalâ,â she said.
In court today, Mr Justice McDermott imposed the mandatory life sentence on McGhee and also lifted an order which had prevented identification of the accused.
Lawyers for RTĂ and Mediahuis had applied for the lifting of the order, which had been imposed to protect a child witness whose evidence was ultimately read into the court record.
That order was lifted on the condition nothing is published that would identify any child witnesses.
McGheeâs counsel, Michael Lynn SC, had told the court on Monday he was instructed to say she was âprofoundly sorryâ.
McGhee, the court heard, was placed in foster care aged 14 after her mother died and her other siblings were also fostered. She was in a relationship with OâConnell for some years before Masonâs death.
Some months before the childâs death, Ms Conway, because she was then suffering mental health issues, had voluntarily given custody of her son to his father and McGhee.
Mason had attended creche while living with his mother, but this stopped when the new custody arrangements were put in place.
The court heard McGhee had told gardaĂ the four-year-old was a âboldâ and âcheekyâ child who was sometimes confined to his bedroom where he was not permitted to sit on the bed and had to sit on the floor.
Over four days to March 13th, 2021, when Masonâs father called an ambulance, claiming his son had fallen from his top bunk bed and could not be roused, the child was confined to his bedroom and only allowed out for food or to go to the bathroom.
OâConnell said his son was the âclumsiestâ child ever and had run into a door some weeks previously and âburstâ his eye.
A paramedic considered the childâs posture was indicative of brain damage and noted âyellowishâ bruising, suggesting older injuries.
Dr Stephen OâRiordan, who reviewed the childâs case after he was taken to hospital, said the âwhole theatre gaspedâ when they saw Mason covered in bruises.
He documented 17 areas of bruising or injury to both eyes, ears, arms, legs and back and said the âblack eyes,â combined with bruises around both ears, were âclassic signs of physical abuseâ.
There were possible âgrab marksâ on one shoulder and to the left elbow, multiple bruises on the back and chest, and a âhugely extensive injuryâ to the back of the head. A laceration to the boyâs liver would have been caused by âextreme forceâ and would normally be associated with a car crash, he said.
State pathologist Dr Heidi Okkers told the trial the cause of death was a traumatic head injury in association with blunt force trauma to the abdomen.
McGhee had told gardaĂ in later interviews she had shaken the child on March 13th, she did not know how long for, and he had fallen and banged his head. She denied murder at the outset of her trial but changed her plea four days into it and admitted murder.
The court also heard McGhee had told social workers some months prior to March 2021 that she had kicked the child on one occasion. TĂşsla, the court heard, had become involved with the family as a result of Ms Conwayâs mental health difficulties.

A witness has told a trial at Limerick Circuit Court that she was shocked and disgusted when an inmate at Limerick prison threatened to rape her.
The threat was made in a dispute over complaints about dirty showers on a wing at Limerick Prison.
Tegan McGhee was giving evidence at the trial of 22-year-old transgender woman Barbie Kardashian who denies four charges of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to her and to a prison officer at Limerick Prison on a number of dates last year.
The accused, who the court heard was born male but now identifies as female, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
Tegan McGhee, who was an inmate on the same wing as the accused, said she went to use one of the showers that afternoon and was disgusted to find there was body hair all over the walls.
She said this problem had arisen before and inmates were all told to clean the showers after them, and that she herself had used the fire hose to clean the shower before.
She said she told prison officers about the problem.
She said Barbie Kardashian was asked by an officer if she had cleaned the shower after using it and she said she had.
She said she heard Barbie Kardashian knocking on another prisonerâs door asking if had they complained about her.
She came to Tegan McGheeâs door and also asked her, and the witness said she had complained about her.
The witness said Barbie Kardashian said: âIâm going to rape you so that you cannot have anymore children.â
She said she knew it was Barbie Kardashian who had uttered the words because she was standing outside her cell door, and she had a distinctive American accent.
She said she was extremely shocked, upset and disgusted that somebody could say something like that.
Under cross examination, Tegan McGhee admitted she had not met or spoken to Barbie Kardashian or seen her face to face.
Prison officer Katherine Halley who was on duty that day told the court she heard the accused woman Barbie Kardashian conversing with witness Tegan McGhee and she said to her âif I get my hands on you I will rape you with an implement and you will not have kids again.â
Officer Halley said she had no doubt it was Barbie Kardashian who spoke those words.
The trial is continuing.
Bonkers !!!
Eimear Carroll (43), of Hillside, ÂSeffin, Birr, Co Offaly, pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to fraudulent induced maternity-related payments from the Department of Education and the Department of Social Protection.
Judge Keenan Johnson, sitting at Tullamore Circuit Court, heard Ms Carroll had pleaded guilty to four charges including deception, forgery and using a false instrument whereby she claimed âŹ12,425 in Maternity Benefit and âŹ46,939.34 in Maternity-Leave cover.
All offending happened between November 2017 and February 2019 when she was teaching in a primary school in Offaly.
Judge Johnson heard Carroll wore a fake bump to school and claimed to have given birth to two babies, a boy called Oran and a girl called Emily, in quick succession.
She further claimed âEmilyâ was born 10 weeks premature and required prolonged treatment in a neonatal ICU.
Garda James Morrison confirmed to prosecution counsel Shane P Geraghty BL that Carroll also claimed she was married to a man named Peter Parsons.
Gda Morrison confirmed the offences, included her supplying PPS numbers and dates of birth for her alleged husband and children to the Department of Social Protection.
The court heard inquiries by Gda Morrison at the General Registry Office found no such persons existed and that Carroll was single.
The court also heard Carroll supplied false medical certificates, including a number from named doctors in the National Maternity Hospital.
Mr Geraghty told Judge Johnson Carroll had initially been charged with 31 offences, but pleaded guilty to four sample charges, with the remainder taken into consideration on a full-fact basis.
Gda Morrison, attached to the Department of Social Protection, told the court that in November, 2018, he was alerted by Tullamore social welfare inspector Eileen Connolly to a possible fraud.
Mr Geraghty said the information suggested Carroll had not given birth to any child âand was in essence carrying out a fraud at that timeâ.
Gda Morrison subsequently found this was the second Maternity Benefit claim made by Carroll, but he could find no evidence she had any children.
The court heard this fact was in âcomplete contradictionâ to all the paperwork the accused had supplied to the Department of Social Protection.
Gda Morrison said that on inspection of the two application forms made by Carroll, he found it âunusualâ there had not been a further claim for Child Benefit for either child. âThat would be the natural progression,â he said.
He found Carroll had received âŹ12,425 in Maternity Benefit from the Department of Social Protection âŹ46,939.34 in Maternity-Leave cover from the Department of Education. Gda Morrison also confirmed there had been âno births, deaths, marriages or stillbirthsâ registered to Carroll and she was single.
Documents supplied by Carroll during her offending included letters in the names of three doctors: Professor Michael Gannon, Dr Jennifer Walsh and Dr Hazel Fitzell. The doctors confirmed they had no interactions with Carroll and did not supply her with any documentation.
One of the documents purported to be created by Prof Gannon and concerned a âMrs Eimear Carroll Parsonsâ.
The court heard the accused Âsupplied a forged medical certificate in the name of Dr Fitzell dated August 28, 2017, Âstating âCarroll Parsonsâ was four months pregnant and her baby was due on February 4, 2018. The forged medical cert said Dr Fitzell recommended that Carroll begin maternity leave on January 7, 2018.
The court heard Carroll submitted the various documents to her workplace âto allow her time off work to attÂend antenatal clinicsâ. In one document submitted in September, 2018, Carroll said her baby was due on November 20, 2018, but she had delivered 10 weeks early, on August 27.
In a letter to the Department of Social Protection, she informed them of the premature birth and said the teachersâ union, the INTO, advised her she was entitled to add 10 weeks to the end of her 26 weeks of statutory maternity leave.
Among the medical certificates supplied by Carroll was one purported to be from Dr Walsh at the National Maternity Hospital. It stated she was unfit for work as she had given birth to a premature baby in August, 2018.
In a typed letter sent by Carroll to her school principal, she applied for a second maternity leave and stated she was expecting another baby. She accompanied this letter with a medical cert.
In further letters to her principal in September 2018, she included an amended maternity leave application due to the âpremature birthâ. The court heard she also stated that her premature baby âdue to complicationsâ was in the ICU and was unable to be discharged and she could not return to work.
Having received the Âcorrespondence, the principal warmly congratulated Carroll and wished her well, the court heard.
After making inquiries, Gda Morrison got a search warrant for Carrollâs home on February 13, 2019. He said the search found âno evidence of any other person residing in the houseâ.
âThere was nothing related to children or the proposed husband, Peter Parsons,â he said. âThere was only one bedroom furnished.â
Carroll was arrested and interviewed under caution, during which time she denied any wrongdoing, even when all the established facts and witness statements from doctors were put to her.
Asked if she understood why she was arrested, she said: âI do, but I donât understand how it involves me.â
When documentation was put to her, she said: âThere is obviously a mix-up. Anything Iâve submitted is above board.â
She further stated the documents presented to her did not look like what she had submitted. In relation to her application forms, she said: âI did Ânothing wrong. I followed the guidelines.â
Asked specifically about the alleged births, she replied: âI am not discussing my babies with two strangers.â
When asked âWho is Peter Parsons?â, she said: âIâm not commenting on other people.â She added: âIâm entitled to my Maternity Benefit like everyone else.â
Gda Morrison told the court Carroll has three previous convictions and is currently serving a prison sentence for harassment and stalking.
She was sentenced to four years with two suspended at Clonmel Circuit Court on February 25, 2024. She had two other charges taken into consideration on that date for sending an article through the post that was indecent/obscene, grossly offensive or menacing.
Gda Morrison said there was âsignificant premeditation and planningâ involved in her offending.
âMs Carroll put forward to her collÂeagues that she had a relationship with Mr Parsons and then became married a period of time later,â he said. âShe then wore a bump to work to convince her colleagues she was bearing a child.â
Judge Johnson said he would delay sentencing as the information before him was inadequate in relation to Carrollâs psychological condition at the time of offending.
âI have to say, it is an extraordinary case. I certainly need a lot more information before I can pass sentence,â he said.

I just saw that there now, a disgrace. Whether they need to have another look at the guidelines around things in some way I donât know.
A fella with a predeliction for violent crime kept getting away lightly until he eventually killed someone. The sentencing seems arbitrary and wrong.
Just read that
