  On May 15, 2023, a 34-year-old woman punched one of two men and attacked the second with knives at Clare Street, Limerick, in what the court described as an unprovoked attack. She pleaded guilty at Limerick Circuit Court in April 2024 to producing an article capable of inflicting serious injury, two counts of Section 2 assault and two counts of criminal damage. On June 21, 2024, she was sentenced to four years in prison with the final two years suspended. The three-judge Court of Appeal dismissed her appeal against the sentence and found no error in the headline four-year term, as reported on June 27, 2025.
