Three men have appeared at Sligo District Court on charges of violent disorder.

Wayne Hynes (37) formerly of Stephen McDonagh Place, Sligo, Kelven McSharry (26) of Fivemilebourne, Calry and Aaron McLoughlin (30) of St John’s Terrace Sligo were charged with committing violent disorder at Stephen McDonagh Place, Sligo on July 12, 2025.

McSharry was also charged with damaging a pane of glass to the front door of the property belonging to Vicky Farrell and Rory Boyd.

McLoughlin was also charged with the possession of a knife and producing a large bladed kitchen knife during the course of a dispute at the property.

For each of the defendants, Sergeant Derek Butler told the court that the Director of Public Prosecutions has directed prosecution on indictment at Sligo Circuit Criminal Court. He added that there was consent from the defendants to go forward on signed pleas should they arise.

For all three defendants, Judge Éiteáin Cunningham directed disclosure to McGovern Walsh Solicitors and adjourned their cases to December 3 for service of the book of evidence.
