Three months for attack on fire engine
A man has received a three month prison sentence for an attack on a fire engine in June of this year.
Darragh Quinlivan, (23) from Crecora Avenue, Ballinacurra Weston, pleaded guilty to smashing the window of the fire engine on June 5th when it attended to a call in the area.
The court had previously heard from Inspector Seamus Gallagher, who told the court that the windscreen of the engine was smashed with a rock by the accused , who was standing amongst a crowd at 0330 hrs on that date. Over €400 worth of damage was caused to the fire engine.
Handing down the sentence, Judge Tom O’Donnell described it as “an appauling performance.”
