Getaway car driver jailed for manslaughter

The driver of the getaway car in the shooting murder of Eddie Ryan Snr in a Limerick hotel was sentenced to 15 years' jail for manslaughter today.

Mr Justice Henry Abbott said the "heinous" and "savage" killing of Mr Ryan in 2000 was a "quantum leap" in the Limerick feud and the growing lawlessness since then had to be considered by him.
