David Nally was jailed for cattle fraud at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court; he received a six-year sentence, with the final 18 months suspended, and the report was published on 12 February 2025.

Nally pleaded guilty to six charges of inducing two men to invest in a fictitious cattle and machinery scheme between 2014 and 2016. One invested over €700,000 and the other just over €218,000.

The first man was still owed just over €390,000, while the second had lost €175,000. The court ordered Nally to hand over €300,000 for proportional distribution to the victims within three months as a condition of the suspended portion.
