A barber who was driving a car with 152kg of explosives in the boot when he was stopped by gardai, has lost an appeal against the severity of his seven-year sentence.
Lawyers for John Roche had argued that the sentencing judge didn t take into account their client s lack of previous convictions, high standing in his community and history of doing charitable works. Hugh Hartnett SC for the 57-year-old said Roche was effectively given the same sentence as his co-accused, John Brock, even though Brock had a previous conviction at the Special Criminal Court. Brock was sentenced to eight years and six months with the final 18 months suspended while Roche was jailed for seven years.
