  On 23 January 2025 at Barraghbeg, Drumlish, County Longford, a woman walking her dog met Mr James Mahony's American Pitbull Stafford Terrier/Boxer, which began pulling at her dog and would not let go. Mr Mahony was charged with an offence under the Control of Dogs Act 1986 for having the dog neither muzzled nor on a lead in public. He pleaded guilty before Judge Bernadette Owens at Longford District Court, was convicted and fined €450 with nine months to pay, and chose the fine over compensating the woman. The latest development is the conviction and fine, reported in October 2025.
