Glasgow man first to receive sentence at new criminal courts

A Glasgow man became the first person to be given a prison sentence at the historic first sitting of the new €140m Criminal Courts of Justice at Parkgate St in Dublin today.

Patrick Doherty (aged 46), a father of two and native of Glasgow, with an address at Cloncoon West, Glenamaddy, Co Galway was convicted by a jury at the Central Criminal Court in Galway last July of the manslaughter of Mr Frank Fahy (aged 20) of O' Keefe Park, Glenamaddy in the early hours of December 15, 2008.
