He was given three concurrent sentences of six weeks, four weeks and ten weeks to run concurrently, plus a 12-week sentence consecutive to the others.

He was also ordered to pay £100 compensation to his victims.

Only last month, O’Driscoll had been given a two-month jail sentence suspended for a year for driving while disqualified and failed to provide a specimen of breath after being stopped on suspicion of drink-driving.
