'It’s not good for the parish': Victim of Hayes brothers offered 'bag of cash' in exchange for silence

Ciaran Ryan, in hospital, after he was attacked with a hurley and a wrench by Limerick brothers Cian and Daragh Hayes. 

The man who was violently beaten by Daragh and Cian Hayes with a hurley and a spider wrench has said he was offered “a bag of cash” to withdraw his statement ahead of the trial.

Ciaran Ryan suffered several injuries, including a broken leg, fractured ribs, a punctured lung, and broken fingers after being assaulted in September 2021 by the Hayes brothers in their home in Kildimo.
