Kyle Hayes - a good GAA man?

Should he have gotten a harsher than average sentence because he's a hurler, in your opinion?

Average implies there are people who did get heavier sentences as well as people who got lighter ones for the same crime. Interesting.

I'm genuinely concerned if this sentence would be considered "average" for an assault of this type.

Nope. Not sure about the suspended nature of it, don't know the quantum for the offence.

My point is having been convicted etc , selecting him to play sets a really bad example.

Hopefully he's a much quicker learner than some on here still struggling with the system and the nature of punishments dished out by it.

My heart goes out to the victims and his family and to the Gardai whose evidence was basically dismissed,

E Halvey munster rugby player. 7 months suspended sentence and 7 years of the road for drink driving causing the death of a young child. now that sentence is way to lenient.

Hayes is more revered than ever in Limerick, judging by some of the FB posts posted by Stabonians.

Sentences across the board are too light in Irelamd imo. Increasing sentences would involves a system change and an increase in funding for prisons though.

It's am average sentences for the offence. I agree it sets a bad example, but I think that Limerick GAA and Kiely in particular are in a catch 22. In the absence of their being a code of conduct in the GAA that bars people with convictions from playing they dont really have grounds to drop him. If Kiely drops him and Limerick lose this year, he'll be lynched!

Yes, people with prior convictions.

It's a fairly regular occurrence in criminal courts. Juries don't always accept garda evidence. That's why we have court cases, in fairness.

Was your reaction when you were including cases where the guilty parties had prior convictions????

Was it the average sentence for those without prior convictions?
