Michael Andrecut and Brandon Hennessy have appealed their convictions for their roles in the attack on Tristan Sherry at Browne’s Steakhouse in Blanchardstown on Christmas Eve 2023. Andrecut was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison; Hennessy was convicted of violent disorder and jailed for four-and-a-half years, with the final six months suspended.

Andrecut’s appeal argues that the trial court misapplied the provocation test after he witnessed the fatal shooting of someone close to him. Hennessy’s appeal challenges how gardaí identified him on CCTV. The Court of Appeal reserved judgment.
