A man who pushed a tourist into the sea during the 2011 Tall Ships Festival has been jailed for three years.

Colin Ryder had travelled from the UK especially for the festival and was filming some ships at the West Pier in Howth when he was shoved in.

He sank under a boat and was rescued by some swimmers.

Thomas Reilly of Enaville Road, North Strand Road denied the charge but was convicted by a jury at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in January.
