Man jailed for attempted robbery seven years ago

A former drug addict who absconded to Australia seven years ago when due for sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for an attempted robbery which resulted in a garda leaving the force has been jailed.

Anthony Doran (aged 30), with an address at East Wall Road, Dublin 3 moved to Australia with his partner and two children when due for sentence in December 2000 but was arrested last December (2007) when found in possession of false passports.
