An Irish soldier from Londonderry has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in prison for raping a woman in a Dublin hotel.

Kielan Mooney, 30, of Bloomfield Park, Derry, was in December found guilty of three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault.

The attack happened in July 2021.

The victim said Mooney's actions had taken a serious toll on her mental health and had left her feeling suicidal.
