    On May 3, 2023, Bernie McDonald, 33, of Longford, issued a tirade of abuse and intimidation to Garda Aidan Lenehan during a seven-minute stand-off at Townpark, Longford, after the garda observed a 10-year-old boy driving a quad bike around the public green. McDonald pleaded guilty to a charge of breach of the peace at Longford District Court. Judge Deirdre Gearty imposed a one-month custodial sentence, suspended for 12 months, and directed the quad bike be returned to McDonald. Charges of having an uninsured vehicle and failing to produce insurance were withdrawn by the prosecution.
