Alleged garda assault victim faces jail

A youth who was at the centre of a recent high profile trial faces possible reactivation of a partially suspended sentence for dangerous driving after he failed to abide by the terms of the suspension.

Eoin Gaffney (aged 21) crashed a nun’s car into a parked vehicle sending it through the front of a house in June 2008. He wrote the Toyota Starlet off at a cost of €2,500 to the owner and caused €3,624 and €2,900 to the parked car and house.
