5-yr jail term for 'volatile' man who drove getaway car in robbery of elderly woman

“This unfortunate woman who was mobile and independent and is now suffering live-changing, ongoing, permanent injuries. This is exceptionally serious."

A volatile man serving a jail sentence for attacking a social worker outside a courtroom has had five years added to his time in prison for being the getaway driver in the violent robbery of an 80-year-old woman.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin imposed the five years at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on Graham Hornibrook and made it consecutive to the three and a half years he was already serving for attacking the social worker.
