Daniel Phelan, David Leonard, David Skeffington and Nico Barrett were jailed for assault causing harm by the Court of Appeal on 25 June 2015, receiving terms of 12 months, 12 months, 12 months and 14 months respectively.

The men had pleaded guilty to assault causing harm after two serving members of An Garda Síochána were attacked in Charlestown, County Mayo, on 3 July 2012. The court found that fully suspended sentences imposed in October 2014 were unduly lenient and resentenced them after allowing substantial mitigation.
