latest first- Two men jailed for robbery on Phibsborough Road, Dublin Robbery · Co. Dublin
Two men, Lee Byrne, 24, and Sam Garvey, 26, pleaded guilty to robbing a man of his mobile phone on Phibsborough Road, Dublin, on 1 October 2022. The victim was cycling home after a night out when he was stopped and beaten, sustaining swelling and bruising to the back of his head. Gardaí spotted the pair in Dublin City Centre several hours later and recovered the phone. Judge Duffy adjourned the case for 12 months to allow both men time for rehabilitation, but at sentencing in December 2025 imposed two and a half years' imprisonment with the final 18 months suspended, an effective one-year custodial sentence.
