• Man jailed for Longford assault in High Court over prison conditions Assault · Co. Longford

  Lee Goodchild, 30, of Auburn Village, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, assaulted his ex-partner while they were consuming alcohol in her home on Ardnacassa Avenue, Longford, on 14 May 2020. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison at Longford Circuit Court in June 2021, with a separate report noting a three-and-a-half-year sentence with the final year suspended. In March 2022, Goodchild brought judicial review proceedings in the High Court against the governor of Castlerea Prison, Justice Minister Helen McEntee and the Attorney General, claiming a 14-day period of almost solitary confinement in February 2022 breached his constitutional and human rights. Judge Charles Meenan adjourned the application for leave until 17 May.
