Wesley O'Brien's six-year sentence for violent disorder was reduced to four years by the Court of Appeal on 24 November 2014. He had pleaded guilty to violent disorder and intentionally causing harm after an assault at a man's home.

The original sentence was imposed at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 21 February 2012, with both sentences running concurrently. The appeal court said the sentence should be aligned with that imposed on a co-accused, and substituted six years with four.
