• Man sentenced for posing as talent agent to exploit children in Galway hotel Sexual exploitation of children · Co. Galway

  On 27 February 2022, a man posing as a talent agent brought a nine-year-old girl and her six-year-old brother to a hotel room at the Imperial Hotel, Eyre Square, Galway, where he asked them to lie on a bed and took photos of them. Brendan Clifford, 38, was arrested after the matter was reported to gardaí and later pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual exploitation of children under section 3 of the Criminal Law Sexual Offences Act 2017. At Galway Circuit Court, Judge Brian O'Callaghan imposed a four-year prison sentence with the final 12 months suspended on each count, to run concurrently, and barred Clifford from using any laptop or computer capable of downloading child-related material for five years. The sentence was reported on 30 May 2024, the latest development in the case.
