Timothy O’Sullivan was refused extra time to appeal his 11-year rape sentence by the Court of Appeal on 22 March 2019.

He had pleaded guilty to sexual assault and oral and anal rape of two boys at locations in Dublin between 1991 and 1996.

The court refused the application after finding little prospect of a successful appeal and noting the appeal was lodged about 13 weeks late.
