• Three women sent for trial over Kilkenny assault and violent disorder Assault causing harm and violent disorder · Co. Kilkenny

  Three women were charged with assault causing harm, violent disorder and other offences following an alleged incident on 15 September 2024 at Hebron Road, Kilkenny, in which one woman suffered bruising to her hand from an alleged kick and another was taken to hospital by ambulance with abrasions to her head and side of her body. Demi Donovan, 32, of Urlingford; Ellen Donovan of Freshford; and Nora Jackman of Kilkenny were charged in connection with the incident, during which four young children were present. Judge Geraldine Carthy refused jurisdiction at Kilkenny District Court in February 2025, deeming the matter too serious for her court and sending it back to the Director of Public Prosecutions. In May 2025, all three defendants were sent forward for trial to Kilkenny Circuit Court and released on continuing bail with conditions.
