The sentences for the two teenagers who pleaded guilty to **assault causing serious harm** and **violent disorder** were:
1. **Second boy (14 at the time of the attack)** – **32 months in detention**
* He kicked Mr. Termini eight times, dragged him by the jacket, and continued kicking him as he ran toward Store Street.
* Judge Martin Nolan described his actions as **“grievously wrong”** and said they **“helped ruin a man’s life”**.
2. **Third boy (14 at the time of the attack)** – **26 months in detention**
* He witnessed the assault before involving himself, delivering a **“savage”** punch that knocked Mr. Termini to the ground.
* Judge Nolan noted that his actions were aggravated by the fact that he was the **third** person to join in the assault.
The **first boy (instigator, now 17)** pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of **assault causing harm** and will be sentenced on **February 26**.
Pure evil. Once they turn 18 they should be named. But no they will have anomymity
Isnt it fun how we are now using months in jail instead of years to make it look longer.
2 and 3 years basically and they will be out in 1 and 1.5 respectively
Parents should ve given 5 years a piece
Guess the judge. Not great sentence considering we had a warning up for tourists across several different embassies to not come to ireland after this attack. Huge effect on tourism and hospitality for years to come
Why is he always called a tourist?
He was moving to Ireland, he set up a bank account that morning, right!? Doesn’t that mean he was an immigrant?

“Kids” like this should be tried as adults. If you have the ability to kick the shit out of someone lying on ground to the point his brain bleeds you are a serious danger to society.
A pack of feral 14 year olds can still kill a full grown man. These punishments are a joke as usual.
Periods of detention? This will just be something they’ll boast about.
One punch can kill someone.
Fucking Nolan again. I swear to god he is one of the biggest threat to Irish society at this stage. I want to see him m stripped of all powers and all of his cases revisited!
Ah sure, it’s Judge Nolan, not even a slap on the wrist is expected.
Hold on, the incident began due to unwanted attention being paid to girls in the group? That’s an angle I’ve not heard before, can we assume they’re also 14/15 years old?
Fucking pathetic excuses made for these pieces of shit. I don’t care if they were “boys” i hate hearing winging pathetic shite they come out with for mitigation. They clearly lied to the extent of the assault and cried because they were caught in camera. Fucking animals. Their parents should be locked up for their actions and made pay that man for his damages.
The wee bastards should have been named and shamed, and given proper jail sentences. Do an adult crime, do adult time
What a pathetic ‘justice’ system. They should be locked up for many years. It’s no wonder so many parts of Ireland are populated with little shits. No true consequences for anything.
32 months means this little piece of shit will spend a few months in jail then be let out to mess with other people’s shit again .
The fact is that these little vermin should be locked away until their early 20s. Then if (when) they are convicted again it should see them locked away until their mid 30s. This way they won’t reproduce and society will be saved from their presence
Loved the bit about how one of them sobbed in court. They weren’t showing much mercy when Termini was being kicked in the head as he lay on the ground.
They were 14??????
What a sad life
The sentences should be way more harsh. One of these teenagers had FOUR previous drug related convictions…I mean, 14 years old drug dealer? Just lock this scum for good, there is no way that he can grow up and be useful to the society in any shape or form. Just nip it in the bud.
I have a signed copy of a picture of Termini and Dead blues guitarist Johnny Winter that he gave me in Westport a month or two after the assault. I was really excited thinking I got an autograph of a blues icon, but when I looked at the back, it was autographed by Termini himself.
It was beyond odd. He had an envelope full of them as well. I was just playing a gig, and he placed on next to my foot. It’s probably one of the strangest encounters I’ve ever had.
I thought maybe he was a fellow musician or a roadie with Winter? No, it was just a picture he had taken with him after he gig he attended.
Think he was a bit off before the assault and very, very off after.

Sentenced to two weeks of being really bold boys!
Did he ever see a penny of that money?
32 months and 26 months each.
according to this sub last year they wouldn’t be sentenced or if they had been sentenced they would only get suspended sentences or nothing at all.
Well the subs favourite judge actually locked someone up for a change. I need a drink and a lie down I think !!!!!!!
