Description

Legal affairs editor Tim Crook reports from the Old Bailey on the 25-year prison sentence after a 7 week trial for a twenty-six year old English-born construction worker who masterminded an IRA bomb plot in the north east of England. Sean McNulty from North Shields was linked forensically to 3 bomb blasts at gas and oil terminals. Mr Justice Mitchell said the fact there were no injuries or deaths made no difference to the seriousness of his crimes.
