Stephen Byrne, a 26-year-old man, was found in possession of 1,440,675 images and videos depicting children at his rented home on Harold's Cross Road, Terenure, Dublin 6, on 2 March 2022. Gardaí investigating the accessing of suspected child sexual abuse material obtained a warrant to search the home, where nine electronic devices were seized and seven were found to contain such material. Byrne attended Tallaght Garda Station on 16 August 2024 and took responsibility for the devices, and he later pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to possession of the images. In November 2025 Judge Martin Nolan set a headline sentence of four-and-a-half years and imposed a sentence of 27 months, citing Byrne's co-operation and admissions as mitigating factors.
