Two-year term for man who rammed Garda car three times

A MOTORIST who rammed a Garda car three times in various parts of Cork city during a 35- minute escapade was jailed yesterday for two years.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin imposed a four-year sentence on Tim Dennehy at Cork Circuit Criminal Court and suspended half of it. He also banned Dennehy from driving for 10 years.

Dennehy, of 25 Cathedral Road, Gurranabraher, Cork, pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment where he drove so dangerously he created a risk of injury or death in the early hours of July 8, 2010.
