On 20 January 2021, five men from the McDonagh family attacked a caravan at Illaunmanagh, Shannon, County Clare, where Victoria Keenan was with her two-week-old baby and four other small children and no adult males were present. Bernard McDonagh, 32, slashed Keenan with a Stanley knife across the arm and smashed glass in the caravan close to where the baby lay.
