  1. I love how all this lot “got caught up” in the riot. In all my years I have yet to be swept off my feet into a frenzied mob. I must be doing something wrong.

  2. It’s great there’s opportunities for women to be scumbags now, it used be almost all male.

  3. Well there’s not much fear of her ever working off the half a million in damages

  4. She regrets what happens yet told the judge to fuck off at the sentencing?

    Never mind the sob story about coming from a rough background. Personal responsibility regardless of background is key. She’s 34.

    She should be locked up, complete courses for rehabilitation and show she’s trying to be a decent person in our society.

    If not she should be sent down the mines until she’s worked off the near 500k damage done.

    Absolutely vile behaviour shouldn’t be tolerated.

  5. Add pyromaniac to her long list of convictions.

  6. >She has 66 previous convictions including criminal damage, theft, robbery, assault causing harm and misuse of drugs. She was on bail for other offences at the time and has been in custody since last year, serving a sentence for assault.

    At some point we just need to take these people out of circulation. The 20th conviction? 30th? 50th? Move them to a lifelong license that can be forfeited if they’re caught dropping litter. She probably had a sad life but why must some random shopkeeper take a face full of boiling water because of her troubles? (To pick on another individual with a lot of priors who did just that.)

    On the other hand, build palaces of reformative prisons for young offenders we might actually be able to help.

  7. Cool, now they should go after the folks who encouraged the riots, and jail them too, as they’re still out being little fascists, and their rhetoric directly caused the arson attack on the IPAS centre in Drogheda. 

    Until you deal with the root cause of these actions – the folks drumming up anti-immigration sentiment – it’ll just keep happening. 

  8. damn it. another neurosurgeon or engineer put behind bars. what are we gonna do if we keep losing them like this.

  9. David Drumm only got 6 years too ! Infinitely more damage caused by him and his ilk

  10. *John Byrne SC, defending, handed in a hand-written letter of apology to the court from Kelly.*

    *Prior to her case being finalised, Leanne Kelly, 34, told Judge Martina Baxter to “f**k off” and to sentence her instead of putting the case back for a governor’s report and urine analysis.*

    *”You’re not getting any urines out of me,” she told the judge.*

    *Judge Baxter said it was a pity that Kelly’s attitude in court did not reflect what had been said on her behalf by defence counsel, but she accepted Kelly was remorseful for her actions on the day in question.*

    Bwahaha

  11. Have we not got a photo of her. I’d say she’s some character.

  12. There’s peadophiles and rapists getting less what a country we live in.

  13. She should get 20 years in prison with no early release.

    As should all those who took part in the riot.

    Send a message, that kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.

  14. 6 years in the Dochas. Probably like a holiday for her compared to living on the streets. Except now she’s costing the taxpayer a fortune.

  15. Good! Thuggery should face serious consequences.

  16. “You’re not getting any urines out of me,” she told the judge.

  17. Any chance of the child stabber Riad Bouchaker whos actions caused the riot getting jailed?? Or even tried in court??.. nope still waiting..

  18. 6 years backdated to October means she should be due for release in April 2030, but because she’s a woman I’d put money on her being out by late 2028. If she’d had a better background she could take another year off that.

  19. The bus was empty at the time. The driver had been taken out by the mob, for being black.

  20. She’s a Lowlife Scumbag bye bye 🖐️ and good riddance.

  21. “What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?”

  22. “she grabbed some cardboard and set it alight using a nearby garda fire that was in flames.”

    Haha, makes it sound like it was an official Garda event
