A “violent, evil” Limerick man, who previously ordered the shooting of a man outside a child’s christening, has been jailed for five years for robbing a tourist at knifepoint on St Patrick’s Day.

Damien Quinn, aged 34, went onto the streets armed with a knife which he put to the victim’s throat on March 17, 2015.

Quinn, of Shanabooly Avenue, Ballynanty, pleaded guilty at Limerick Circuit Court to robbing the man, who had parked his Mercedes near the city centre.
