• Man remanded on bail over assault of priest at Ennis Cathedral Assault causing harm · Co. Clare

  Dylan O'Loughlin, a 31-year-old man from Corofin, was charged with assault causing harm, criminal damage, and a public order offence after allegedly scraping the face of Fr Joy Micle during mass at St Peter and St Paul Cathedral, O'Connell Street, Ennis, on 20 April 2026. The priest sustained injuries to his right temple and right cheek, and his €150 eyeglasses fell and broke on the church floor. At Ennis District Court, Judge Harris granted O'Loughlin bail on conditions including remaining out of Ennis and a nightly curfew, with the case set to return the following month. Gardaí said other churchgoers came to the priest's assistance and that further charges may be brought.
