• Assault causing harm convictions affirmed on appeal in Kenmare Assault causing harm; common assault · Co. Kerry

  Kieran James, an English man in his 30s, was assaulted at a mobile chip shop and on Main Street in Kenmare at around 3am on 28 December 2017 following a queue dispute, suffering a broken nose, chipped tooth and shoulder injury. Jackie Healy-Rae, Kevin Healy-Rae and Malachy Scannell were convicted at Kenmare District Court in 2019 by Judge David Waters of assault causing harm and common assault. Jackie Healy-Rae, originally sentenced to eight months suspended for one year, appealed, while Kevin Healy-Rae and Malachy Scannell withdrew their appeals. At the Circuit Court in Tralee in October 2022, Judge Francis Comerford affirmed both convictions after two days of evidence and imposed a new sentence of five months and three months, both concurrent and suspended for six months.
