• Three charged over Maudlin Street assault and theft in Kilkenny Assault · Co. Kilkenny

  On 4 October 2025, a dark Peugeot was driven recklessly on the Old Dublin Road in Kilkenny, linked to two hit-and-run collisions, before entering Maudlin Street from the wrong side, where two occupants allegedly assaulted a man and a woman, both in their 30s. The victims were treated at St Luke's Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries including a fractured hand and facial swelling. Martin Lyons, 46, Emma Wallace, and Niall Murphy were arrested at the scene with the help of bystanders and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984. The three appeared at Kilkenny district court on 8 October 2025, with Lyons charged with 10 offences including assault causing harm and attempted robbery, and Wallace with six offences including two counts of assault and three counts of theft.
