Court reserves judgment in firearms appeal case

The Court of Criminal Appeal has today reserved judgment in the case of a convicted murderer appealing against his subsequent conviction and 10-year sentence for the possession of a firearm and ammunition.

Eugene Kelly (aged 45) was jailed for 10 years by the Special Criminal Court in July 2009 after he was found guilty of the possession of a 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistol and 50 rounds of ammunition at Castletown Rd, Dundalk, Co Louth on July 19, 2008.
