Man ordered nailgun attack on family’s home

A man who ordered a gang to attack a house has been jailed after a court heard the family’s home was sprayed with nails from a nailgun.

Judge John Aylmer said it was a miracle that someone was not seriously hurt when a gang attacked the family home in Co Donegal.

Donal Coyle and his family escaped with their lives when a gang of men shot up their home in Letterkenny in November 2006.
