On 29 September 2021, Daragh Hayes, 37, and Cian Hayes, 33, both of Ballyashea, Kildimo, Co Limerick, lured their friend Ciaran Ryan to Daragh Hayes's home and beat him with a hurley and a foot-long steel wrench, causing a punctured lung, multiple fractures and extensive bruising. The brothers, who are brothers of Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes, were charged in October 2022 and remanded on bail. They pleaded guilty to assault causing harm and producing the weapons at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court on 23 October 2024. On 30 January 2025, Judge Colin Daly sentenced Daragh Hayes to three years and Cian Hayes to two and a half years, each with the final six months suspended, and the pair were later transferred to Shelton Abbey open prison in Co Wicklow.
