Two and a half years for knife-and-fork offender
A 22-year-old man who wielded a steak knife and large fork during an hour-long stand off with gardaí has being sentenced to two years and six months at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Brian Kiely, a father of one, threatened to stab any garda who entered the house and put garda Garvan Lennon in fear of his life when he lunged at him with a knife telling him: "Your stab vest won't save you."
