Judge warns hurling ace Hayes: 'You will be jailed if you commit another crime'
Limerick All-Ireland-winning hurler Kyle Hayes was warned by a judge yesterday that he will be jailed if he commits another criminal offence. The GAA All Star was back in court yesterday, less than 24 hours after he was named man of the match in his side's 16-point defeat of Cork in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship. Sitting in the dock at Courtroom 4 in Limerick Circuit Criminal Court, Hayes waited silently for confirmation he would serve 180 hours of community service in lieu of three months in jail, as previously indicated by Judge Dara Hayes, no relation to the GAA player.

Last April, the judge indicated he would impose the community service order in lieu of Hayes serving three months of an 18-month suspended jail sentence previously imposed on him. The suspended jail term was imposed on the Limerick centre-back after a jury convicted him on two counts of committing violent disorder, inside and outside the Icon nightclub in Limerick in 2019 – charges he denied at a trial in 2023.

The judge warned that 'non-compliance' with the order would see the All-Star hurler going to jail. Addressing Hayes, the judge said: 'If there is non-compliance, you will be brought back before the court and the [three-month] sentence will be imposed.' Hayes replied: 'Yes, judge.' The judge said he would make 'no order' on the hurler's second conviction for violent disorder, in respect of the same night at the nightclub in 2019. Where and when Hayes will be starting his community service were not disclosed in court. Judge Hayes said the hurler must complete the community service order within 12 months. Hayes, who was named man of the match on Sunday, following Limerick's defeat of Munster rivals Cork, arrived in court before 10.30 am yesterday and waited until his case was called after lunch.

Pic: Sam Barnes/Sportsfile His barrister, senior counsel Brian McInerney, confirmed that the Probation Service had deemed the hurler suitable for community service in lieu of the jail sentence. 'A suitable service has been selected and all other matters have been satisfied,' Mr McInerney told the court. Hayes, 26, of Ballyahsea, Kildimo, Co. Limerick, appeared as part of long-standing 'Section 99 Re-entry' proceedings. The hearing was initially triggered after Hayes engaged in dangerous driving at Mallow, Co. Cork, four months after the concurrent suspended sentences of 18 months and two years for violent disorder were imposed on him in March 2024. On July 14, 2024, Hayes was recorded by a garda overtaking nine cars in a row on a stretch of the N20 Cork-Limerick dual carriageway, while driving 55kph above the 100kph speed limit. Hayes lost an appeal on March 12 last against the conviction, for which he was given a two-year driving ban and fined €250. Previously summarising the events from the Icon nightclub, Judge Hayes said the hurler was one of two men who ' aggressively approached' self-employed carpenter Cillian McCarthy, and was one of a group of four males who later on 'attacked' Mr McCarthy inside the nightclub. The judge said two gardaí gave evidence at Hayes's trial that they saw the hurler kicking a man lying on the street outside the nightclub, but the judge said there was no evidence before the court that the man on the ground was Mr McCarthy. The judge said the jury acquitted Hayes of a third charge: assault causing harm to Mr McCarthy. He said Hayes had paid €10,000 in damages to Mr McCarthy as part of the terms of the suspended sentences imposed on him. Judge Hayes said testimony by the hurler's father, Liam Hayes, who told the court he depended on Kyle to help him run their family farm after he underwent heart surgery, had not assisted nor swayed him in his final judgement.
