Four year jail term for 'Love Ulster' rioter

A man who had travelled from Westmeath to enrol on a course has been given a four-year sentence by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for assaulting two Chinese shop workers during the 'Love Ulster' riot last year.

Thomas Morley (aged 26) had been given accommodation at Galway Road, Kinnegad by a resident who had heard him speaking on a radio programme about his homelessness, but subsequently lost it as a result of his role in the riot.
