Man shot in pub sentenced to five years

A garda bullet was fired through the hand and stomach of a man waving a loaded sawn-off shotgun in a Cork city pub last April and today this man was jailed for five years.

Anthony O’Leary, aged 38, of 3 Liam Healy Road, Fairhill, Cork, was looking for vengeance on the day against the publican and his family as O’Leary’s uncle died after he was forcibly removed from the pub in March 2008.
