Cases
latest first- Dave Mahon acquitted of assault causing harm in Carrick-on-Shannon Assault · Co. Leitrim
On 26 August 2021, a row at a barbecue at Breffni Crescent, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Leitrim, allegedly led to Dave Mahon, a man aged 53, headbutting and punching his neighbour Jim Fahy, a man aged 70, causing facial injuries including two black eyes. Mahon, who had been released from Wheatfield Prison in July 2021 after serving five years for the manslaughter of his stepson Dean Fitzpatrick, was arrested on 30 August 2021 and charged with Section 3 assault causing harm. The case was adjourned on multiple occasions between 2021 and 2025, and the trial began at Carrick-on-Shannon Circuit Court on 19 March 2025. On 21 March 2025, Judge John Aylmer directed the jury to sign a not guilty verdict, acquitting Mahon.
