• Kilkenny man given suspended sentence for knife possession outside city bar Possession of a knife · Co. Kilkenny

  On the night of 2 December 2024, security staff at Paris Texas in Kilkenny City called gardaí about a man outside the premises with a knife, reportedly threatening members of the public and intoxicated. Gardaí arrested Vincent Hennessy under the Public Order Act, and CCTV from the premises showed him outside with the knife blade exposed. Hennessy was convicted of possession of a knife at Kilkenny District Court, with a charge of being intoxicated in public taken into consideration. In May 2025 the court imposed a nine-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months, conditional on engagement with the Probation Service, and ordered the knife destroyed.
