• Man jailed for affray on Kilkenny city street Affray · Co. Kilkenny

  An affray broke out in broad daylight on Kieran Street, Kilkenny city centre, on 10 May 2024, when a verbal dispute outside a family christening venue escalated into a brawl. Damian Delaney, of Castlecomer Road, pleaded guilty to affray after throwing the first punch and a glass that struck another man on the head, causing him to lose consciousness. Co-accused John Carthy and Paul Delaney were charged with violent disorder, assault causing harm and production of an article, and their cases were sent forward to Kilkenny Circuit Court in January 2025. A juvenile involved was dealt with under the Youth Diversion Programme. Judge Cormac Quinn sentenced Delaney to six months in prison at Kilkenny Circuit Court in December 2025.
