Stage: Appeal
Outcome: Robert Traynor (54) of southwest Dublin, left court in March of this year with a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to possession of 1,938 images and 183 videos of child pornography on February 2, 2018. The DPP claimed Judge Pauline Codd had erred by failing to include a period of incarceration in the two-and-a-half-year wholly suspended sentence she handed down in March this year at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
