latest first- Four men sentenced for affray at Mervue, Galway Affray · Co. Galway
Four brothers from Longford were sentenced at Longford Circuit Court in June 2025 for an affray at The Holy Family Church in Mervue, Galway, on 13 January 2019. Patrick Hannifin (48), Tommy Hannifin (46), Denis Hannifin (44) and Robert Hannifin (49) were initially charged with violent disorder and assault causing harm, but all four pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of affray. The incident, linked to an alleged family feud, left John McGinley with a gunshot wound to the right thigh, Patrick McGinley with a stab wound to the shoulder, and Denis McGinley with an injury to the right eye. Denis Hannifin received concurrent three-year sentences with the final 12 months suspended, Robert Hannifin received three years with the final 20 months suspended, and Thomas and Patrick Hannifin each received 27 months suspended in full.
