    Wade O'Brien (32), of Enniskerry, Wicklow, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to affray at Rathsallagh Park, Shankill, on 5 April 2021. The victim, a homeless man, was found at a house that morning with a fractured wrist, severe bruising and cuts, and O'Brien was reportedly seen beating him with a baseball bat. Gardaí went to the address after a woman living there contacted them. In June 2024 Judge Pauline Codd set a five-year headline sentence, reduced to four years with one year suspended, meaning O'Brien was jailed for three years.
