Cases
latest first- Man sentenced for reckless discharge and possession of firearm in Limerick Reckless discharge of a firearm; possession of a firearm · Co. Limerick
On 11 June 2020, a shotgun discharged at Long Pavement, Watch House Cross, in Moyross, Limerick, injuring Alan Murphy in the upper body with serious but not life-threatening injuries. Paul Coffey, 46, of Lord Edward Street, Limerick, was arrested in August 2021 and initially charged with attempted murder. The DPP dropped the attempted murder charge, and Coffey pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court in March 2023 to reckless discharge of a firearm and possession of a firearm. In April 2023, Mr Justice Paul Burns sentenced Coffey to six years for possession (final 12 months suspended for three years) and three years for reckless discharge, to run concurrently, with the sentence backdated to August 2021.
