  • Horse owner convicted in absentia of animal cruelty at Clonmel District Court Animal cruelty · Co. Waterford

    Fiona Hickey, who has an address at Carrigoreilly, Caherconlish, Co. Limerick, had a chestnut gelding horse dropped to a yard in Co. Waterford in January 2024 so that it could be broken. Concerns about the horse's condition led to an ISPCA inspector seizing it, and a veterinary examination found it had endured a level of starvation. Hickey was charged under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013, did not appear at Clonmel District Court, and Judge Brian O'Shea heard the evidence in her absence. The latest development, reported on 17 January 2025, is that she was convicted on all four counts, fined a total of €4,000, ordered to pay ISPCA costs of €4,385.60, and the horse was forfeited to the ISPCA.
