• Appeal dismissed in Longford attempted armed robbery case Robbery · Co. Longford

  On 14 September 2023, a man entered a Texaco service station on Dublin Road, Longford, shortly after 8am, produced a gun and pointed it at owner Joe Raleigh before leaving empty-handed. The weapon was later found by ballistics to be a 6mm airgun designed to resemble a magnum revolver. Noel McLoughlin, 32, was arrested the following day and charged with attempted robbery and carrying a firearm with criminal intent. He entered guilty pleas at Longford Circuit Court in January 2024 and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, backdated to 15 September 2023. His appeal against sentence was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on 10 March 2025.
