A 46-year-old father of two will be sentenced for the killing of a young Galway man later this month.

Patrick Doherty of Clooncon West, Glenamaddy in Co Galway was found not guilty of murder but guilty of the manslaughter of 20-year-old Frank Fahy on 15 December last year.

Doherty had been convicted in July at the Central Criminal Court in Galway.

Mr Fahy's father John Joe Fahy told the court today that his family's lives had changed forever because of the way their son was taken from them.

Mr Justice Paul Carney said he would impose sentence on 25 November.
