David Byrne moved to appeal his conviction for dangerous driving causing death at the Court of Appeal on 5 July 2019, after receiving a five-year sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 11 May 2018. The conviction arose from the death of Patricia Dunne, 70, at Collins Avenue East, Killester, Dublin, on 16 October 2015.

The Court of Appeal reserved judgment after hearing submissions about Byrne’s Type 2 Usher Syndrome, the road crossing and the time available to avoid the collision.
