Daniel O'Callaghan, a 32-year-old former All-Ireland club medallist from Crossmaglen, County Armagh, has been sentenced to ten years imprisonment by the Special Criminal Court following his conviction on sixteen offences related to a coordinated ATM theft operation. Justice Tara Burns found O'Callaghan played a central planning and active role in a cross-border criminal gang that used stolen diggers to extract cash machines from walls across Meath, Cavan and Monaghan during 2018 and 2019. He was convicted after trial of involvement in the attempted theft of an ATM in Virginia in August 2019, which gardaí interrupted. O'Callaghan was apprehended at the scene. The court heard the gang stole over €700,000, of which €429,930 was recovered from a location in Moynalty. Three accomplices, including brothers Stephen, Gerard and Ciaran Duffy from County Monaghan, pleaded guilty to related charges and received sentences ranging from four to seven years and nine months. O'Callaghan's sentence comprises a headline term of eleven years with the final year suspended, conditional on a three-year peace bond.
