HSE paramedic jailed for assaulting first aid students, one of whom was pregnant

A HSE paramedic who “patently abused” his position of trust when assaulting two female first aid students has been jailed.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Gerald Keys imposed a two-year jail term, suspending the final year, on Andrew Long (36) for the assault causing harm on Mary Nihill when he placed her in a chokehold six years ago.
