Chawke attacker fails in court bid
Ward, aged 58, was jailed at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in 2007 after pleading guilty to assault causing serious harm, robbery, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and two counts of possession of a firearm with intent to resist arrest on October 6, 2003.
Mr Chawke was shot in the leg by Ward outside the Goat Grill pub in Goatstown. His right leg had to be amputated above the knee and he was robbed of about €50,000.
