Jerry McCabe’s garda son successfully appeals assault conviction

A member of An Garda Síochána yesterday successfully appealed a conviction on a charge of assault causing harm to his ex-girlfriend.

Garda Ross McCabe — son of the late Garda Jerry McCabe — appealed a €750 fine and conviction imposed on him earlier this year by Judge Marie Keane at Cork District Court.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin heard the case at Cork Circuit Appeals Court yesterday and allowed the appeal.
