Woman who set fire to bus during 2023 Dublin riots jailed for six years after swearing at judge

"A woman who set fire to a bus during the 2023 Dublin riots, causing nearly half a million euro worth of damage, has been jailed for six years."

"Prior to her case being finalised, Leanne Kelly (34) told Judge Martina Baxter to "f**k off" and to sentence her today instead of putting the case back for a governor's report and urine analysis."

""You're not getting any urines out of me," she told the judge."

Leanne Kelly, 34, set fire to a bus during the 2023 Dublin riots, causing nearly half a million euro in damage. She received a six-year prison sentence for the arson and the extensive destruction. During the sentencing hearing, Kelly directed profanity at Judge Martina Baxter, demanding immediate sentencing rather than an adjournment for a governor's report and urine analysis. She refused to provide urine samples, explicitly stating, "You're not getting any urines out of me." The combination of the offence's severity and her courtroom conduct preceded the custodial sentence.
