Jason Freyne was resentenced to 10 years, with two-and-a-half suspended, for possessing a firearm and ammunition at the Court of Appeal on 20 February 2017.

The offence occurred at Hyde Road, Limerick, where Freyne had discharged a sawn-off shotgun at a group.

The court increased his sentence after the Director of Public Prosecutions argued that the original term was unduly lenient.

The Court of Appeal said the sentence should have been at least 10 years, while retaining the suspended element.
