Anthony Kelleher's conviction for assault causing harm was overturned by the Court of Appeal on 10 October 2016.

The conviction followed a trial at Cork Circuit Criminal Court concerning an incident at the family home in Macroom, Co Cork, on 12 June 2014.

The court found that admitting statements from Siobhan Kelleher, who had refused to give evidence, and the handling of medical evidence resulted in unfairness to Mr Kelleher.

The judgment dealt with the appeal against conviction.
