The mother of two children badly burned in a petrol bomb attack on a car in Limerick city has welcomed the sentencing of three teenagers but said the ordeal is not over for her children.
Last year Millie and Gavin Murray-McNamara, then aged four and six, were injured in the attack in Moyross.
Shiela Murray said her children's treatments and hospital appointments will go on for years.
Jonathan O'Donoghue was today sentenced to eight years in jail with the final two years suspended.
The 18-year-old was described as the main mover behind the petrol bomb attack.
Another 18-year-old, John Mitchell, was given a seven-year sentence also with the final two years suspended.
And 17-year-old Robert Sheehan was given two years' detention.
The judge said Mr Sheehan's involvement in the petrol bomb attack was considerably less than the others and he tried to rescue the children from the burning car.
Niall McNamara, the father of the two children, was arrested after he abruptly left the sentencing and shouted during the court proceedings.
He was later released without charge.
