This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

John Cully lost his Court of Appeal challenge to consecutive four-year sentences, with the final two years suspended, for dangerous driving offences on 13 November 2014.

The court upheld the sentence after finding serious aggravating factors, including extremely dangerous and reckless driving, injuries to two gardaí and an attempt to escape arrest. The second offence was committed while Cully was on bail, and the appeal was dismissed because no error of principle had been identified.
