66 year old Seamus O’Neill from Ballynamona, Newcastle pleaded guilty to rape, indecent assault and sexual assault of the children on a number of dates between 1965 and 2000.

All three victims waived their right to anonymity so O’Neill could be named.

Mr Justice Paul Carney suspended six years of this sentence after noting the accused’s guilty plea, his lack of previous convictions and his full admissions.

Judge Carney ordered O’Neill to enter into a bond of €1,000 and to stay away from the victims. He also ordered him to undergo 18 months post release supervision.
