Rokas Kalytis was ordered to complete 240 hours of community service in lieu of a two-year prison term after pleading guilty to criminal damage involving Irish Rail carriages and an underpass. Judge Elva Duffy said he would serve the prison term if he came to further garda attention or failed to complete the work.

The court heard that Irish Rail spent more than €26,000 repairing the damage, which took place between January 2020 and May 2022. Kalytis was identified through CCTV, and the court heard that he made full admissions.
