Overview
- A jury earlier this year convicted the 73-year-old on 28 counts involving eight boys abused in the 1970s and 1980s.
- The boys were about 10 to 13 years old, with offences occurring in classrooms and changing rooms at the south Dublin school.
- Kelly taught maths at Willow Park in Blackrock for nearly three decades, starting in 1977.
- He resigned in 2004 after a 2001 complaint prompted an investigation, and the DPP at the time declined to prosecute.
- Judge Elma Sheahan said she hoped the sentence would bring some closure, while the court heard Kelly does not accept the verdicts.
