    On 3 July 2022, Christopher Lee, 32, punched Shane Butler from behind outside a pub in Thomastown, Kilkenny, causing a deep laceration to Butler's top lip and inside his mouth. Lee, a father of an eight-year-old in full employment with no previous convictions, gave a no comment interview to gardaí and later entered an early guilty plea. In August 2024, Lee pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at Kilkenny Circuit Court, where the judge ordered him to have no contact with Butler or his family. The matter was adjourned to the November sitting of Kilkenny Circuit Court for sentencing.
