Anthony Callaghan had his sentence for possessing firearms with intent to endanger life reduced to 11 years by the Court of Appeal on 8 March 2018. The firearms were found in Coolock on 29 May 2015 after a surveillance operation, according to the report.

The three-judge court quashed Callaghan’s 12-year sentence and substituted an 11-year term. It found a slight distinction between his record and that of Paul Zambra, who received a 10-year sentence and did not appeal.
