Lyons will always be notorious, court told

The three-judge court yesterday heard submissions in a re-hearing of an appeal against the undue leniency of a sentence of six years with five and a half years suspended imposed on Lyons, aged 53, by Judge Desmond Hogan in July 2012.
The respondent, the owner of an aircraft leasing company from Griffith Avenue in Dublin, had pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to attacking and sexually assaulting a then 27-year-old woman in the early hours of the morning of October 3, 2010.
