DPP appeal against leniency of Continuity IRA members' sentence rejected
A court today turned down an appeal by the DPP against the leniency of prison sentences given to two Dublin men who were jailed for an intended Continuity IRA pipe bomb attack on the city's northside.
Christopher Mc Carthy (aged 29) of The Vale, Woodfarm Acres, Palmerstown and Daniel Mc Faul (aged 22), of Croftwood Crescent, Ballyfermot were each given six years prison sentences with the final three years suspended by the Special Criminal Court last March.
