    Pat Ryan, 66, a mart worker at the Golden Vale Mart Yard in Kilmallock, was charged with assaulting John O'Brien, causing him harm, after allegedly striking him across the face with a baton on June 17, 2019. O'Brien made a complaint to gardaí seven days after the incident. In April 2021, Limerick District Court found the facts proven but applied the Probation Act, recording no conviction. In May 2023, Ryan's appeal at Limerick Circuit Court was allowed, with the judge finding the prosecution had not proved the allegation beyond reasonable doubt and striking out the District Court order.
