Oliver Callely, 28, of St Lawrence's Road in Clontarf, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to igniting fireworks at the club on Harcourt Street on 6 September 2015.
Dean Kelly BL, defending, previously told the court that earlier that day Dublin had beaten Mayo in a football replay and his client had drunk a great deal.The victim was in the smoking area when he saw a spark and heard a bang before realising he had "caught on fire". Callely had the firework from earlier in the day when fireworks were being lit during the football match in Croke Park.
Sergeant Niall Murray previously told the court that Callely described to him his time in US custody and it sounded "very brutal". Mr Kelly said his client's behaviour was a "moronically stupid and dangerous act" and "it was reckless as opposed to having any intention to cause harm".Counsel said that Callely had not enjoyed a positive relationship with his father and he had experienced difficulties as a result of his father's public profile.
Judge O'Connor said she was not told about the €6,500 being made available to the victim until today and it was not influencing her decision.
Seems to be very beneficial to have relatives with influence!
Corrupt judiciary strikes again. I bet if that was a young lad from Ballymun rather the son of a criminal FF politician the sentence would be different!
