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

A teenage boy was resentenced to 11 years’ detention by the Court of Appeal on 29 July 2020 for attempted murder, with review after seven years. He attacked the woman in Dun Laoghaire after luring her to an isolated area during their first meeting.

The court found the original five-year review period too lenient because the offence involved planning and premeditation. The teenager cannot be named because he is a minor, and the review was set for 1 January 2025.
