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

Keith Chrystal was resentenced to four years, with six months suspended, by the Court of Appeal, reported on 19 June 2017.

The sentence followed his guilty plea to robbing Leighlinbridge Post Office, where €6,856 was stolen during the 2016 raid.

The Director of Public Prosecutions appealed after the original sentence was considered unduly lenient, and the court found excessive discounts overall.
