  Martin Collins, 39, was attacked with a slash-hook and hatchet at Hartstown Road, Dublin, on 7 February 2015 after his car was rammed and crashed onto a footpath, with his young daughter in the back seat. Five men, Brendan Donavan (30), Eddie McDonagh (32), James McDonagh (28), Michael McDonagh (36) and James Whelan (30), all from Balbriggan, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court sitting at Croke Park after the trial had begun. On 25 February 2022, Judge Elma Sheahan sentenced Donavan, Eddie McDonagh and Michael McDonagh to three-year prison terms with the final six months suspended, and James McDonagh and Whelan to 18-month terms with suspended portions. James McDonagh also received a consecutive 12-month sentence for producing a metal baseball bat during a dispute while on bail. The court noted that no explanation was provided for the attack and that others are still to come before the courts.
