An "Arthur Daly" type used-car dealer who supplied a vehicle for a dissident operation to place a bomb under a PSNI officer's jeep in Belfast has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment at the non-jury Special Criminal Court today.
Robert O'Leary, who denied the charge and said "never in a million years" would he be involved with the IRA, wrote a letter to the court the day before his sentencing giving an undertaking "that upon release, [he would] not associate with persons or a person engaging in militant or violent Republicanism". He also undertook not to come to the attention of gardaí.
