Eight year sentence for man who transported firearms

A nervous robber who handed himself in but then fell back into crime while on bail by transporting firearms to pay off a drug debt has been given an eight year sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Anthony Keegan, (aged 27) carried out a series of robberies in 2002 but absconded to England after being charged. He turned himself in to garda four years later but returned to crime to pay off a €3,000 debt.
