Appeal dismissed as court upholds conviction for violent disorder and assault with baseball bat

Court of Appeal upholds the conviction of an individual previously found guilty in the Circuit Criminal Court of violent disorder, assault causing harm, and production of an article during a dispute, despite challenges regarding the legality of Garda entry into a dwelling and the composition of a baseball bat used in the incident, on the grounds that the legality of the entry played a minor role at trial and did not result in injustice to the appellant; and further, the material of the baseball bat—whether metal or wood—was deemed irrelevant to the core issues of the case, as the appellant had acknowledged it as the bat used during the incident.
