One year added to term already being served will be suspended if accused goes to into residential treatment on release

A drunken Bandon man who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old neighbour on her way home along a quiet lane had one year added to a term he was already serving, with the new sentence being suspended.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin said the sentence was suspended on the basis that the accused man would go into residential treatment on his release from prison.
