    Anthony Mackessy, 42, a pharmaceutical porter, pleaded guilty to assaulting his ex-partner Emma Hallahan at her home in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, on 13 January 2024, after beating her, dragging her up and down the stairs by her hair, and holding a knife to her throat. He was jailed for one year in November 2024 and ordered to stay away from Hallahan. Mackessy served nine months of his sentence and was released on 5 January 2026.
