Ron Tulie had his sentence for sexual intercourse with a child under 17 cut by the Court of Appeal, reported on 28 October 2016. He was re-sentenced to four years in prison, with the final two years suspended, after pleading guilty to four offences committed in the Dublin mountains between 1 June and 27 July 2008.

The court said the original sentence exceeded the statutory maximum because the indictment did not identify Tulie as being in a position of authority. The suspended period required him to enter a good-behaviour bond.
