A man who fired a handgun through the window of a house in Cork city and hit a young woman in the neck, causing her life-threatening injuries, has lost his Supreme Court appeal against his convictions.
Gavin Sheehan, a father of one aged in his 30s, of Laurel Ridge, Shanakiel, Cork was sentenced to an effective 11-year prison term in 2017 after he was convicted of assault causing serious harm to Ciara Sheehan and of three firearms offences at Laurel Ridge, Shanakiel, on May 15th, 2016.
Cork Circuit Criminal Court heard Sheehan had assaulted a young man, Dylan Cunningham, in a chip shop in Blackpool earlier that evening and, later that night, windows were broken at Sheehan’s family home at Laurel Ridge.
