Mark McAnaw received an extra 10 months in prison for breaching a suspended sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 11 July 2025. The breach followed his harassment of three journalists and a separate District Court conviction for breaching the Sex Offenders’ Act.

Judge Martin Nolan reactivated 10 months of the 16-month suspended portion of McAnaw’s 2023 sentence for aggravated burglary, ordering it to run consecutively to the 11-year harassment sentence. The court was told that the reactivation application followed those convictions.
