John McGahon and the ‘vicious’ Dundalk fight that has caused people to question his candidacy
The incident was investigated by An Garda Síochána. McGahon was charged with assault causing harm but when the case eventually came to court in May 2022, he was acquitted by the jury on a majority verdict. In a statement, Fine Gael said McGahon has “always maintained his innocence and a jury has found him not guilty. This matter has now concluded.”
