Joseph Warren’s appeal against his conspiracy conviction was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 4 July 2016.

He had been convicted at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court after an attempted cash theft from a Chubb vehicle at a shopping centre in Celbridge, County Kildare, on 2 November 2007.

Warren argued that potential jurors from Ballymun, Finglas and Cabra had been excluded improperly. The court held that the trial judge’s decision was a practical case-management exercise within her discretion, and that Warren had received a fair trial.
