Simple assault guilty plea

On July 4, 2023, Clancy was ordered to pay a woman €1,000 after he admitted taking her hand without consent after following her into a laundry room while he was celebrating his cousin's wedding. Clancy pleaded guilty to the simple assault at a previous court hearing and Clonakilty District Court heard he had no memory of the incident, which occurred on June 3, 2022. The woman, a minor at the time of the incident, had not initially wanted to make a complaint. The court heard the woman had, in the presence of her mother, declined the invitation to make a victim impact statement and had also declined the opportunity to attend court. While Clancy said he had no recollection of the event due to a high level of intoxication on his part, he did not dispute the woman's version of events. He had already written her a letter of apology by the time the judge ordered him to make payment. The judge said to convict would be “entirely disproportionate” and instead granted Clancy the benefit of the Probation Act, on a bond for three years and without Probation Service supervision.
