Cases
latest first- Man jailed for six and a half years over Longford assault Assault causing serious harm · Co. Longford
On 5 April 2022, Martin McDonagh, a man in his early 20s from Longford town, was stabbed with a Stanley knife at Luigi's fast food restaurant on Main Street, Longford, in front of 10 to 15 people including young children. Patrick Stokes, 28, of Corboy, Edgeworthstown, Co Longford, was arrested the same evening and later charged with assault causing serious harm under Section 4 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, while his wife Jacinta Stokes, 27, was charged with threatening and abusive behaviour. Stokes pleaded guilty at Longford Circuit Criminal Court in January 2023 and also pleaded guilty to a Section 3 assault on restaurant owner Peter Vocella, who sustained a cut to his finger. In May 2023, Judge Kenneth Connolly sentenced Stokes to seven years and six months for the Section 4 assault with the final 12 months suspended for three years, and a concurrent one-year sentence for the Section 3 assault, meaning he will serve six and a half years.
