Wayne Dundon opened an appeal against his murder conviction before the Court of Appeal, reported on 3 April 2017. He was convicted by the Special Criminal Court after the 2009 shooting of Roy Collins in Limerick and received a mandatory life sentence.

Dundon’s counsel argued that the trial judgment failed to address alleged inconsistencies, witness collusion and other factual issues. Counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions said the appeal arguments did not undermine the conviction; the appeal court had not yet ruled.
