  Kieran Barry, a 52-year-old man, was charged with a Section 6 public order offence for calling Garda Moloney a "f**cking dope" outside Henry Street garda station in Limerick on 1 September 2025. Garda Moloney cautioned him and charged him at Henry Street garda station. At the sentencing hearing, his barrister argued the conduct was not criminal, and the judge found him guilty. The latest development, reported in March 2026, is a sentence of one month's imprisonment, suspended for 12 months.

  On 3 May 2019, Kieran 'Bunny' Barry, a 51-year-old man from Kennedy Park, Limerick, allegedly threatened to kill Detective Garda Dean Landers and his family outside his home during a dispute. Barry was arrested later that night after fleeing into his house and was charged with threatening to kill or cause serious harm, possessing cannabis for sale or supply, possessing cannabis, and resisting the garda. He pleaded not guilty to all four charges and went on trial at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court in October 2024.
