• Man remanded for sentencing over threats to kill gardaí in Longford Threats to kill gardaí · Co. Longford

  Gardaí responded to a domestic call at a house in Grian Ard, Longford, on Christmas night into St Stephen's Day 2020. Darren Kelly, 36 or 38, of Longford, allegedly became agitated and threatened to kill gardaí David Conroy, Leo Shiel, John Fitzmaurice, and Joe Kavanagh, while his 18-year-old daughter Demi Kelly allegedly assaulted two of them. Both were charged and appeared at Longford District Court in November 2021, where the DPP consented to Kelly's trial and both were remanded on continuing bail. In October 2023, Kelly pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Garda David Conroy and Garda Joe Kavanagh and was remanded on continuing bail to January 2024 for sentencing.
