Not necessarily, read @gilgamboa post from last night. A guy on the news said a friend of his who was a JCB driver would regularly give her a lift to the bus etc.
Then it was reported the suspect worked in construction.
It may or may not be linked.

Hennessy lived in Bray.
Jastine lived in Enniskerry.

They have found her body I’m reliably informed
Probably but the witness spoke of the car stopping suddenly and bundling in Jastine into the boot.
His actions since then have appeared very haphazard as if he was crazed or something.
If she was known to him I think it wouldn’t be as manic.

The people I know from pretend Killiney (Ballybrack) come in handy at times.

By all accounts a fierce nice chap.
I didn’t know that but even allowing for previous it was excessive, especially when you look at the Irish justice system’s apathy towards white collar crime. There’s a considerable disparity between 5 years for tax evasion and suspended sentence for a sex offender.
The garlic man?
I don’t think Nolan was wrong in the garlic case. it had been going on for years and was a willful breach of the law.
the Court got it very wrong in the lyons case and even the CCA didn’t get it right on appeal. should have been a lot more jail time with very little of the sentence suspended

5 years wouldn’t have been excessive if it was being applied consistently. I imagine he kept doing it because he and others were getting away with it. Doesn’t make it right but to turn around and give him 5 years when you see the lack of convictions post Celtic Tiger crash for people that bankrupted the country, the sentence was excessive, inconsistent and unfair.
