itemprop=description content=Gavin Coyle, 46, of Mullaghmore Drive in Omagh, pleaded guilty to IRA membership and providing a car to be used by terrorists.
A Co Tyrone man has been sentenced to six years in jail after pleading guilty to offences connected to an attempt by dissident republicans to kill a police officer.Earlier this year, Coyle pleaded guilty to membership of the Irish Republican Army between May 1, 2007 and May 13, 2008
On May 12, 2008, a police officer was seriously injured after a bomb planted under their car exploded near Castlederg as they drove to work.During a sentencing hearing at Belfast Crown Court on Friday, it was said that while Coyle supplied his car, he did not know the precise action that was to be carried out.
The court heard that the stress wrecked the officer’s personal life, and from having a clear career goal the officer is unable to pursue goals and his career has spiralled downwards. “No-one should ever have to experience such a cruel ordeal, the lasting impact of which isn’t just felt by the victim, but by family and loved ones too,” she said.
