    Ross O'Shea, a former army captain, was convicted by a General Court Martial in October 2022 of sexually assaulting a female non-commissioned officer and of assault, following a barbecue at McKee Barracks, Dublin, on 25 June 2020. He had faced charges relating to two female soldiers but was acquitted of most counts. He was sentenced to dismissal from the Defence Forces and a six-month custodial sentence suspended for 12 months. His appeal against the conviction was dismissed in October 2024, and in November 2025 the Court of Appeal rejected his appeal against the dismissal.
