A €1,500 FINE was too lenient a penalty for a truck driver whose careless driving caused the death of a three-year-old girl, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
The three-judge court today imposed a 16-month sentence on 64-year-old Senan O’Flaherty but suspended the entire term on condition that he be of good behaviour for two years.

The three-judge court today imposed a 16-month sentence on 64-year-old Senan O Flaherty but suspended the entire term on condition that he be of good behaviour for two years.
The court found that the trial judge was wrong to place O Flaherty s culpability at the lower end of the scale with Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy saying he was at the upper end and that his blameworthiness was more significant than that identified by the judge.
