On 28 July 2023, ISPCA inspector Fiona Conlon visited a farm at Raheenleigh, Myshall, Co Carlow, and found several dogs in poor condition, including a heavily pregnant golden retriever so thin her spine was visible through her fur. Jamie Kavanagh, 25, and his aunt Sheila Kavanagh, 58, both pleaded guilty to animal cruelty, failing to protect animals, and failing to feed animals, with Kavanagh also pleading guilty to obstructing an officer. At Carlow District Court in December 2024, Kavanagh was sentenced to four months in prison, banned from owning animals for life, and ordered to pay €600 in ISPCA costs, while Sheila Kavanagh received a four-month suspended sentence, a €1,000 fine, and a lifetime ban on owning animals.
