A prisoner who was unlawfully at large from prison where he had been serving a fourteen month sentence for a vicious mugging, received a further ten-month sentence yesterday for driving without insurance.23 year old Pawel Bies Wieslaw, with a former address at Wellpark Grove, was jailed in 2007 for his part in the robbery and assault of a Galway schoolboy.During the incident, the boy had been viciously beaten and kicked by six Polish men, who then robbed his jacket and phone.Wieslaw appealed the sentence but was unsuccessful in his appeal last year and was sent to prison. He was granted temporary release from prison but never returned to serve the remainder of his sentence.
