Garda attacker wishes judges a 'Happy Christmas' after they cut his jail time
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Lawyers for Flynn appealed the sentence imposed on the Section 3 charge on the grounds that the sentencing judge's initial headline sentence of five years had been "too high". Today, the Court of Appeal agreed to quash the original sentence and jailed Flynn for three years and three months instead.
