• Man jailed for assault outside Limerick hotel Assault · Co. Limerick

  Damien Conway, 47, pleaded guilty to assaulting Dean Burke on 23 October 2022 after biting off part of his thumb during a dispute on the grounds of the Woodlands House Hotel in Adare, Limerick. The accused had punched the victim through a car window multiple times and then grabbed the window, running alongside the car for 74 metres. The dispute arose from an earlier disagreement over drinks allegedly taken from another table. At Limerick Circuit Court in July 2026, Conway was sentenced to three years and six months' imprisonment, with the final 12 months suspended on a €300 bond, after a headline sentence of four years and eight months was reduced.
