• O'Driscoll's assault sentence reduced by Court of Appeal Assault (assault causing harm)

  O'Driscoll, a 59-year-old man, was convicted by a Central Criminal Court jury of five offences including rape and sexual assault of his 30-year-old daughter, who has an acute intellectual disability, at their family home in Tipperary between 2003 and 2011. A separate brutal, unprovoked 14-minute assault on a pensioner was also described, with the attacker found holding the pensioner when Gardaí arrived. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison (12 years with the final year suspended) in February 2020, with the Court of Appeal reducing his 13-year term by two years. His first appeal against conviction was dismissed in July 2022, and his second appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 17 October 2022.

  Jonathan O'Driscoll, 33, pleaded guilty to assault causing serious harm after a 14-minute unprovoked attack on Christy O'Callaghan, 73, at a car park in Sleaveen East, Macroom, in the early hours of 21 March 2019. O'Driscoll pulled O'Callaghan from a parked van, threw him to the ground, and kicked and stamped him around the face and torso, stealing his watch, jacket and wallet. O'Callaghan suffered a bilateral scalp laceration, facial bone fractures, broken ribs, a collapsed lung and subdural haematoma, requiring life-saving treatment at Cork University Hospital. O'Driscoll was sentenced to 13 years post-mitigation, and on 17 October 2022 the Court of Appeal in Dublin suspended the final two years of the term for two years, requiring him to engage with probation and addiction services.
