• Ennis man acquitted of assault causing harm at Spancilhill Horse Fair Assault causing harm; violent disorder · Co. Clare

  Ned O'Donoghue, 27, of Ennis, was charged with assault causing harm and violent disorder following an incident at the Spancilhill Horse Fair on June 23, 2023. The victim, Ned Doherty, a father of four, told the court that three members of the O'Donoghue family assaulted him with bars at a burger van. At Ennis Circuit Court, the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict after deliberating for two hours and 53 minutes, so the judge allowed a majority verdict. The jury returned majority not guilty verdicts on both charges.
