• Man charged with assaulting a man in Smyth's pub, Limerick city Assault · Co. Limerick

  Liam Kelly, 22, of Ashley Close, Clare, was charged with assaulting a man in Smyth's pub on Denmark Street, Limerick city, at 1.45 am on 3 October 2024; the defence referred to him as Luke Kelly. Prosecutors said he punched the man three times in the face with a closed fist after a verbal altercation, and the injured man went to Henry Street Garda Station and then Sligo University Hospital. The case was first reported at Limerick District Court in January 2026, where the defence said the assault did not come out of nowhere and the judge said three punches seemed excessive and asked for CCTV footage. The case is next due back in court on 6 February 2026 to review footage from the pub.
