latest first- Man sentenced for harmful communications against Naughton and Kyne in Galway Harassment (harmful communications) · Co. Galway
On 9 and 10 January 2024, Daragh O'Flaherty, 49, of Clarinbridge, Co Galway, allegedly posted threatening communications on Telegram about Hildegarde Naughton and Seán Kyne, stating they would need an ambulance, fire brigade and police or six stitches. He was charged in March 2024 with four offences under Section 4 of the Harassment, Harmful Communications and related offences Act 2020 at Galway District Court. Naughton told the court in October 2024 she was frightened for her personal safety and had to reassess her movements, and Kyne said he took the video as a direct threat. In June 2026, Judge Patricia Cronin found O'Flaherty guilty and sentenced him to four months in prison, to run concurrently, and he intends to appeal to the Circuit Court.
