Meanwhile, two others were sentenced for other charges arising from the investigation into Dales death.

Aisling Burke from Collinstown, Co. Westmeath was jailed for one year for violent disorder, while James Reid of Gorey, Co. Wexford got a fully suspended sentence after he admitted to having a knife on the footbridge.
