Darragh O'Connor was jailed for two months for contempt of court at the Central Criminal Court on 16 July 2021. The sentence was backdated to 28 June 2021.

He had travelled to Ayia Napa and failed to attend as a witness in a trial concerning an incident at a house on Bandon Road in Cork city.

The trial related to the killing of Cameron Blair, who died after being stabbed at a student party in Cork city on 16 January 2020.

Mr Justice David Keane said O'Connor's decision was deliberate and had disrupted the trial; he set a three-month headline term before imposing two months.
