• Sentenced for assaulting taxi driver in Longford Assault; public intoxication; criminal damage · Co. Longford

  Francis McDonagh, 41, was sentenced in November 2022 for assaulting taxi driver Adrian O'Brien and damaging the vehicle's roof lining while extremely intoxicated at Battery Road, Longford, on 19 June 2021. Gardaí arrested McDonagh at the scene and he was charged with assault, public intoxication, and criminal damage to property. He pleaded guilty before Judge Brennan, who noted a custodial sentence was warranted but imposed a six-month prison term suspended for 12 months with a €300 good behaviour bond, citing his early plea and that he is working. McDonagh, who has 57 previous convictions, has since moved to Dublin.
