Court rejects appeal by teen who firebombed politicians home

A teenager jailed for fire years for firebombing the home of a politician who he had a grudge against has had his appeal against severity of that sentence dismissed by the Court of Criminal Appeal.

In November 2006 Sean Quinn (19), of Ashwood, Mahon, Cork was jailed for five years after pleading guilty before Cork Circuit Criminal Court to an arson attack on the home of Cork City Council Green Party member, Cllr Chris O'Leary on the early hours of July 14, 2006.
