And @Kyle was spreading scurrilous rumours saying it was a local publican involved
Ten previous convictions
Most of them were in her teens it said somewhere yesterday.
Brendan Mullin doing his time in Shelton Abbey.
TBH, I thought community service mucking in with some under age rugby teams in deprived areas would have been a far better sentence for cost and benefits to the community.

Under age rugby teams where?

Anywhere mate, theyâre all over the country. Im sure loads of junior clubs in this fair land would benefit massively from his insights, experience etc, rather than having him incarcerated. Paid back the money and all.
Iâd be in agreement here. Plenty of ways he could give back in a meaningful way. Sad to see lads try extract their pound of flesh

Right, letâs think about this. Youâve a rugby player whoâs messed upâfair enough, but instead of throwing him in prison, wouldnât it be better to have him coach young players?
Locking him up is a waste of time and money. Heâs not a danger, and it costs a fortune to keep someone in prison. Meanwhile, out on the pitch, he could be teaching kids discipline, teamwork, and showing them how to bounce back from mistakes.
The young ones get a proper role model, the community benefits, and he gets a chance to make up for what heâs done. Sticking him in a cell achieves nothing. Giving him a shot at making a difference? Thatâs real justice.IMO

Eoghan?
Maybe not a great plan.
Paul?
Fair enough, thats your opinion, but I believe prison should be for people who are a real danger to society, not someone whoâs made a mistake but could genuinely give back.
Coaching young players is a chance to turn a bad situation into a positive one. Heâd be teaching kids discipline, teamwork, and resilienceâthings that could stick with them for life. Plus, it saves taxpayersâ money and keeps him contributing to the community.
Locking him up doesnât fix anythingâitâs just punishment for punishmentâs sake. Giving him a chance to make a difference? Thatâs smarter for everyone, but look everyone has different views on what justice should be.
I think you missed his joke.
I wouldnât have thought discipline would be top of the list for him to teach given thatâs why heâs in this situation. But the principle is fine as long as it extends to all social classes.

Obviously missed the joke, was Eoghan his counsel?
Of course it should extend to all strata of society, I just feel theyâre desperate to make an example of a high profile figure. Failure to hand a custodial sentence could have the twitterati in meltdown
I think heâll end up doing something like that anyway if itâs Shelton heâs serving his time in

Former Government minister Josepha Madigan and her brother Patrick are being pursued through the courts by Ulster Bank for a debt of just over âŹ225,000.
The bank filed proceedings seeking the repayment of the money in 2019.
But details of the matter only emerged today when a motion came before the High Court seeking judgment against the former Fine Gael TD and her sibling after they failed to enter a defence.
Their barrister Keith Farry told the court his clients were in the process of raising particulars and there was consent for them to be given eight weeks to file a defence.
After hearing from Mr Farry, Mr Justice Anthony Barr said he would enter a judgment in favour of the bank unless a defence is filed in the next eight weeks.
Are all solicitors rotten bastards?
Theyve had since 2019 but need 8 more weeks
