Patrick O'Brien of Mackintosh Park, Pottery Road in Dun Laoghaire in Dublin will now serve 9 years in prison after pleading guilty to the abuse of his daughter between 1973 and 1982.

He was originally given a 12 year sentence for his offences which were described as one of the worst cases of sexual abuse one could possibly find.
However because of his age and ill health 9 years of his sentence were suspended and he was granted bail pending an appeal – a move which sparked uproar.
