On 10 September 2023, a large brawl broke out in the car park of Galway Shopping Centre on Headford Road, during which a car was driven at speed into a crowd, and four people were hospitalised with non-life-threatening injuries, two from being struck by the car and two from stab wounds. Gardaí linked the incident to a gang fight in the city days earlier, and weapons including golf clubs, iron bars, slash hooks, and hurleys were used. Nineteen people were arrested in the investigation, with multiple defendants appearing before Galway District Court on charges of violent disorder and producing weapons. On 15 January 2025, Martin McDonagh, 20, pleaded guilty at Galway Circuit Court to endangering the lives of Katie Sweeney and Andrew Sweeney by driving a car at them and to violent disorder, and was remanded on bail until 28 October.
