Two first cousins, Leigh Kearney (26) and Leonard Ward (31), both men, brawled outside Bar One Racing in Dundalk on 27 May 2019 after Ward placed his bike on Kearney's car. Kearney struck the first blow and produced a wheel brace, which Ward disarmed him of. The incident came to Garda attention after bystanders recorded it and it circulated on social media, and neither defendant made a complaint. Both men pleaded guilty to affray, and Kearney also admitted producing a wheel brace. In January 2022, Judge Patrick Quinn at Dundalk Circuit Court sitting in Drogheda sentenced both to 12 months for affray, suspending Ward's final seven months and Kearney's sentence in full, with Probation Service terms.
