A Dublin man’s 2023 conviction for spitting on a neighbor was overturned after he paid €500 in remorse, with the court urging both parties to stay apart.
A Dublin man, Anthony Finnegan, 46, had his 2023 assault conviction overturned after appealing his €300 fine for spitting on his neighbor from a second-floor window.
The victim said the act caused severe emotional distress, asthma attacks, and a loss of security.
Finnegan, who pleaded guilty and has no prior record, argued the conviction would harm his life as a father of three.
The appeals court acknowledged the act was demeaning but accepted a €500 payment from Finnegan as a gesture of remorse, which the victim accepted.
With that agreement, the court quashed the conviction.
