Declan Tynan’s violent disorder conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal, reported on 3 March 2023. The conviction was quashed in April 2018 after another man provided a statement claiming he was the third person involved in the bookmakers attack in Killinarden, Tallaght.

Tynan had been convicted by a jury after pleading not guilty and was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment, with the final year suspended, in January 2017. He was later seeking compensation for an alleged miscarriage of justice, while the Court of Appeal reserved judgment on related matters concerning whether the other man would give evidence.
