John Delaney, a male defendant from Loughrea, County Galway, pleaded guilty at Longford District Court to multiple offences in Longford town in 2024, including an alleged assault on a woman shortly after midnight on 8 August 2024 at St Michael's Road. The offences also involved the theft of three sets of car keys from a taxi office and spitting at gardaí on different dates. Gardaí recovered the keys after searching Delaney, and he was arrested and taken to Longford Garda Station, where he again spat at gardaí. At the sentencing reported on 18 February 2025, the judge imposed a sentence of 16 months with the final five months suspended, although the headline reports 11 months, and Delaney had 115 previous convictions.

The Corporate Enforcement Agency seized 280,000 documents from the Football Association of Ireland's offices in February 2020 as part of a criminal investigation.

The High Court ruled in October 2022 that the documents were not privileged, the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal in September 2023, and the Supreme Court dismissed his bid for a further appeal in January 2024.
