In May 2011, Edmond Stapleton, a 51-year-old man, put a knife to the throat of Garda Michael Bohane and threatened to kill him before hijacking a vehicle at Cork Airport, where he crashed through perimeter fencing and narrowly missed a fuel-loaded aircraft full of holidaymakers. He was convicted of 12 offences in 2012 and sentenced to 12 years with five years suspended. In June 2023, Stapleton was charged with two counts of assault causing harm after kicking and biting two gardaí in Limerick, and was sentenced to three years at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court on 6 November 2024. On 21 November 2024, Judge Sheehan at Cork Circuit Criminal Court reactivated the full five-year suspended term, made it consecutive to the Limerick sentence, and suspended the final two years, resulting in a total of six additional years in prison.
