Graham Campion was jailed for four-and-a-half years for endangerment and damaging a car at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court; the proceedings were reported on 24 June 2021. Judge Pauline Codd also disqualified him from driving for 15 years.

Campion pleaded guilty to both charges. The incident occurred on the N81 Tallaght Bypass on 16 April 2017, when he drove into a car carrying a mother and her five-year-old child and left the scene. The defence cited addiction, homelessness and remorse, while Garda John Ryan agreed that a relative’s death had preceded significant alcohol and drug abuse.
