Gardaí investigating threats to Cathal Crotty following assault conviction

Irish Defence Forces soldier Cathal Crotty, aged 22, of Parkroe Heights, Ardnacrusha, Co Clare, received a three-year suspended sentence for assaulting Natasha O’Brien causing her harm in an unprovoked attack on O’Connell St, Limerick.
Gardaí are investigating after a letter was posted to the family home of convicted Irish soldier Cathal Crotty warning him to leave his home in county Clare or face the threat of being kidnapped and harmed.
Crotty (22) received a fully suspended three year sentence two weeks ago after he was convicted of assaulting Natasha O’Brien (24) in Limerick City Centre on May 29, 2022.
