Love Ulster rioter jailed

A man who had been given a suspended sentence after he attempted to block a fire engine during the 2006 "Love Ulster" riots has now been jailed after he committed seven new offences.

Shane Day (aged 21) of St Columbanis Place, Milltown, was given a four-year suspended sentence from Judge Thomas Teehan in July 2007 after he heard that the defendant had thrown rocks and glass bottles at riot police and tied a rope around a fence in an attempt to stop a fire engine getting through.
