Philip Moore was remanded in custody at Carlow Circuit Court, where sentencing was adjourned for medical reports, while Shane Coady’s sentencing was put off until November. The court heard the cases following a 2022 assault in Rathellen, Leighlinbridge.

A jury found Moore guilty of assault causing harm and false imprisonment, and cleared him of charges involving a knife and threats to harm the injured party. Coady had pleaded guilty to assault; the false imprisonment charge against him was taken into consideration. The injured party told the court that he felt as if he was on trial, and described lasting effects on his sense of safety.
