  On 9 September 2017, a disturbance involving five intoxicated males at Earl Street, Longford left Brian Harkin with a cut to his nostril requiring three stitches, a broken tooth, and kicks to the back and head while on the ground. Michael McDonagh, 26, and Martin McEvilly, 24, pleaded guilty to affray at Longford Circuit Court, where the original charge of threatening unlawful violence had been amended. In October 2022, Judge Kenneth Connolly sentenced McEvilly to probation on condition he pay €1,000 to Harkin, and gave McDonagh a 12-month sentence suspended for 12 months with conditions to pay €1,000 and attend an alcohol awareness session. Two other defendants, Patrick O'Leary and Kyle Quinn, were previously dealt with by the court.
