Gardaí found an imitation firearm in Keith O'Reilly's rucksack after he was arrested for assaulting his former partner in May 2022, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard.
The woman was part-way through a 999 call and had just told gardaí her name and location when O'Reilly pushed her over, causing her to fall out of her wheelchair, and smashed her phone on the ground. When gardaí arrived and arrested O'Reilly, they found an imitation firearm in his rucksack which he said he used to “shoot cans”. When the woman went back to her home, she found it had been ransacked and her phone was gone.
Sentencing O'Reilly today, Judge Martin Nolan said he had taken into account a letter from the woman which he said was “very Christian”.
