  • Former Real IRA bomber sentenced for endangering Gardaí in Dundalk Endangering Gardaí · Co. Louth

    On 8 October 2017, Aiden Hulme, 48, drove at speed at Gardaí Diarmuid Coakley and Joseph Gibney at a mandatory checkpoint on Racecourse Road in Dundalk, triggering a high-speed pursuit to Newry. Hulme, a former Real IRA member convicted in 2003 at the Old Bailey in connection with the 2001 BBC bombing and other attacks, had been released in 2015 after 13 years due to an error in remission dates. He was convicted of endangering Gardaí and three counts of dangerous driving at Dundalk Circuit Court. In July 2025, Judge Dara Hayes sentenced him to three years' imprisonment suspended for three years.
