Cases
latest first- Two men sentenced for manslaughter and assault in Monasterevin Manslaughter · Co. Kildare
Dylan McCarthy, 29, from Kilmallock, Co Limerick, was assaulted by a group of up to ten people outside the Bellyard pub on Dublin Road, Monasterevin, Co Kildare, in the early hours of 21 August 2022, and died at Tallaght University Hospital the following day from a traumatic head injury. His father Eamonn McCarthy, in his 50s, was also injured in the attack, sustaining a fractured jaw and facial injuries. Sean Kavanagh and Calvin Dunne were charged with murder in February 2023, and at their Central Criminal Court trial in early 2025, Kavanagh was directed not guilty of murder and pleaded guilty to assault causing harm on Eamonn McCarthy, while Dunne was acquitted of murder but convicted of manslaughter by a 10-2 majority and violent disorder unanimously. On 30 June 2025, Dunne was jailed for six years and three months and Kavanagh for two years and two months.
