Answer

In 1962, John Tyndall was found guilty of participating in paramilitary training by a Special Criminal Court in Dublin. While he was initially sentenced to six months in prison, an appeals court suspended his sentence. His conviction stemmed from his involvement with a paramilitary organization known as Saor Éire and was part of a broader crackdown on such groups by the Irish government during that period.
