• McGahon acquitted of assault causing harm in Dundalk Assault causing harm · Co. Louth

  On 16 June 2018, John McGahon, 31, of Dundalk, was charged with assaulting Breen White, a man in his 50s, causing him harm outside The Rumhouse on Park Street, Dundalk, after a scuffle that began when McGahon put his arm around White's wife as they were leaving the pub. White was treated for superficial lacerations to his forehead and nose. McGahon pleaded not guilty at Dundalk Circuit Court, telling gardaí he had acted in self-defence. Following a four-day trial in May 2022, a jury found McGahon not guilty.
