itemprop=description content=Gavin Coyle was given a six-year sentence after pleading guilty to IRA membership and supplying a car for use by terrorists.
Northern Ireland’s prosecution service is considering referring a six-year sentence for a man involved in a plot to kill a police officer for appeal.
That car was used in an operation to plant a bomb under the car of a serving police officer in May 2008.The bomb exploded as the officer drove to work. They survived but were left with what has been described as permanent disfiguring injuries. On Monday, the Public Prosecution Service said it is considering whether there is legal ground to refer the sentence to the Court of Appeal.
A PPS spokesperson said: “While sentencing is a matter for the judiciary, the Director of Public Prosecutions does have the power to refer particular sentences to the Court of Appeal on the grounds that they may be unduly lenient.
