""now begin the long journey towards healing""
David Hamilton, 33, of Woodtown West, Athboy, Co Meath, had his jail term increased by one year at the Court of Appeal. His original sentence was six-and-a-half years and it now totals seven-and-a-half years. A victim, Sophie Brady, welcomed the increase and said she can "now begin the long journey towards healing". The Court of Appeal imposed the change last week. The sentence increase responds to the gravity of the conviction and extends the period of imprisonment. The increased term aims to reflect the seriousness of the offence and the impact on survivors.
