The Supreme Court has refused Wayne Dundon leave to appeal his conviction for the murder of Limerick businessman Roy Collins. Dundon had sought to challenge the reliance on witness Anthony McCarthy’s evidence, but the court did not grant leave to appeal from the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal had dismissed Dundon’s appeal in October 2017, finding the Special Criminal Court was entitled to convict him on the evidence before it. Dundon was convicted in 2014 and sentenced to life imprisonment.
