• Man given suspended sentence for knifepoint robbery and bottle attack, Limerick Robbery · Co. Limerick

  On 4 April 2024 in Limerick City, a man was robbed at knifepoint, the court heard, and Brendan Clune, a 54-year-old man, was involved; Clune had travelled by taxi from Clare, did not pay the €80 fare, and also smashed a glass bottle and ran at members of the public with it. Gardaí obtained CCTV of the bottle incident and arrested Clune after he ran past them. Clune pleaded guilty at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court to making off without paying a taxi fare, possessing a broken bottle and a Stanley knife, and theft of €40 from a man in Limerick City. Judge Colin Daly reduced a three-year headline sentence to one year, fully suspended for two years, and said he would consider activating it if Clune came to Garda attention within that period; this was reported on 14 February 2026.
