  • Soldier bailed after guilty plea to affray in Limerick Affray · Co. Limerick

    In the early hours of 20 February 2022, Alan Costello, a 37-year-old Irish serving soldier, punched Timmy Cosgrave, a 51-year-old Irish man, during a row at the Chicken Hut restaurant in Limerick City, causing Cosgrave to fall backwards and strike the back of his head. Cosgrave was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury at University Hospital Limerick. Costello was arrested on 13 March 2022 and pleaded guilty to one count of affray at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court, where he was bailed. Cosgrave died following an unrelated illness in Tenerife in January 2024, and the judge will pass sentence on 9 October.
