Barry Moore, a 35-year-old man, was allegedly beaten, waterboarded, threatened with rape and branded with the word 'RAT' on his face and torso at a house on Sheephill Avenue, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, on 12 February 2025. Five men - Kenneth Fitzsimons, 46, Dean Fitzsimons, 26, Jason Hennessy Jr, 29, Brandon Hennessy, 23, and Devon Hennessy, 30 - were arrested in a major Garda operation on 15 February 2025 and charged with assault causing serious harm, false imprisonment and criminal organisation offences.
