Wayne Dundon was denied leave to appeal his murder conviction by the Supreme Court in a determination dated 31 July 2018. The case concerned the murder of Roy Collins in Limerick on 9 April 2009.

The court recorded that Dundon and another man had been convicted of murder after a 2014 trial before the Special Criminal Court. Dundon argued that the trial court had improperly relied on evidence from Anthony McCarthy, described in the determination as a jailhouse informer, but the Supreme Court refused permission for a further appeal.
