Kevin Molloy’s appeal against a two-and-a-half-year harassment sentence, with its final 12 months suspended, was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 25 September 2020.

The offences arose from debt-collection attempts involving people in Longford and elsewhere, after Molloy pleaded guilty to two harassment offences.

The court held that the sentence and seven-year restriction on debt-collection work were proportionate to the circumstances.
