• Two women sentenced for affray in Longford Affray · Co. Longford

  Four women were charged with affray and threatening and abusive behaviour following a feud-related altercation in the car park of Longford Shopping Centre on 3 May 2023, in which two women were seen wrestling on the ground and pulling at each other's hair. Bernadette Keenan, 45, Nicole Keenan, 24, Winnie Ward, 22, and Margaret Ward, 25, were arrested and charged, and first appeared at Athlone District Court in May 2023. The case was adjourned several times before Winnie Ward and Margaret Ward pleaded guilty before Judge Bernadette Owens in January 2025. The two Ward women were placed on a peace bond with a €250 cash lodgement for 18 months, while the Keenan women's solicitor said his clients would contest the charges.

• Longford twin sisters sentenced for assault Assault; public order offence (threatening and abusive behaviour) · Co. Longford

  On 21 February 2022, Nicole Keenan and Tia Keenan, both 22, assaulted Rosaleen Ward inside a car parked on Main Street, Longford, in broad daylight. The twin sisters, both of 82 Ardnacassa Avenue, Longford, abandoned a young child in a buggy to carry out the attack, leaving Ward with bruising to her right cheek, bite marks on her face, and damage to her stomach area. Garda Noelle Fahy and a colleague found the scene; CCTV showed Fahy dragging Nicole from the car before her arrest, while Tia was arrested later that day. Both were charged with section 3 assault and section 6 public order, and Tia entered an early guilty plea. At a special sitting of Longford District Court in March 2023, Judge Vincent Deane sentenced Nicole to seven months in prison with the final two months suspended and Tia to six months suspended for two years, with a no-contact condition imposed on both.
