Uncle jailed for abuse of 2 nieces
The 43-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was last July convicted by a jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court of 41 counts of sexual assault against the two girls on dates between 1991 and 2009. The jury disagreed on two further counts.
The older girl was aged 8-13 while she was abused between 1991 and 1996 and her younger sister was aged 6-11 while she was abused from 2003 to 2009.
