latest first- Farmer sentenced to community service for cow dung assault in Gort Assault; public order offence · Co. Galway
Joseph Baldwin, a 39-year-old man from Ballyaneen, Gort, was sentenced to 60 hours of community service in lieu of a three-month prison term for assaulting then Minister of State Anne Rabbitte and breaching the peace. On 4 January 2023, Baldwin threw a sealed bag of cow dung towards Rabbitte and another bag at Fine Gael TD Ciaran Cannon at a public meeting about a proposed biogas plant at O'Sullivan's Royal Hotel in Gort, County Galway. He was charged in November 2023 and contested both charges at a hearing in September 2024, where CCTV footage showed the bag missing Rabbitte. Judge Alec Gabbett convicted him of assault under Section 2 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act and a public order offence on 2 October 2024 at Ennis District Court. Sentencing was adjourned to 18 December 2024 for a probation report, after which Baldwin was ordered to complete 60 hours of community service.
