'Easily led' man gets suspended sentence for impeding Aidan 'The Beast' O'Driscoll shooting probe

A man who was an "easily led" teenager when he impeded the apprehension of the killers of Aidan “The Beast” O’Driscoll has walked from court after he was “perhaps unusually” given a suspended sentence.

Mr O’Driscoll, a senior figure in the Real IRA in Munster, died after he was shot four times on the Old Commons Road, in Blackpool, Cork City on December 7, 2016, as part of an internal dispute between the Real IRA and the New IRA.
