THE GETAWAY DRIVER in a bid by an organised crime gang to murder Lee Boylan in west Dublin has been jailed for ten years.
Passing sentence today, Mr Justice Michael White said this was “a well-planned attack” with a sophisticated degree of surveillance and was carried out “at the behest of a criminal organisation”, which perceived that Boylan had been involved in a previous attack.
The victim of a murder bid by a criminal organisation only survived through a miraculous piece of medical luck when his gunshot wounds formed an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that stopped him from bleeding out, the Central Criminal Court heard today.
The court heard during today s sentence hearing of getaway driver Alan Graham (49) that Lee Boylan sustained three gunshot wounds to his shoulder and neck as he sat in his van in broad daylight in a highly populated area in west Dublin
The court was told today that it was a miraculous piece of medical luck that the then 24-year-old survived and he would have bled to death if his carotid artery and jugular vein had not joined in a arteriovenous fistula , an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein that stopped the bleeding.
The getaway driver in an attempted armed robbery of a Dublin pub has been jailed for 18 months.
Leo Fitzpatrick (21) later told gardaí that he didn’t know his accomplice Robert Cullen (29) had a sawn-off double barrel shot gun during the early morning raid.
Fitzpatrick of Fortlawn Park, Clonsilla, Co Dublin, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to attempted armed robbery of Paddocks Pub, Littlepace, Clonee on June 11, 2018.
He has no previous convictions.
Cullen (29) of Briarwood Green, Huntstown, Dublin was jailed for seven and half years last July by Judge Martin Nolan after he pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to attempted robbery, possession of a double-barrelled sawn-off shotgun and discharging a firearm.
