Two brothers of star Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes jailed for beating childhood friend ‘like they wanted him dead’

  • Cian Hayes was sentenced to two and a half years in jail, while Daragh Hayes received a three-year sentence, both with the final six months suspended, for assaulting Ciaran Ryan on September 29, 2021.
  • Ciaran Ryan suffered severe injuries, including a punctured lung and multiple fractures, during the unprovoked attack by the Hayes brothers, who used a hurley and a steel wrench.
  • Mr. Ryan expressed his belief that the sentences were too lenient compared to other cases, stating he was 'flabbergasted' by the outcome and felt it was not justice.
  • The attack has left Mr. Ryan traumatized, experiencing PTSD and feeling 'semi-shunned' by his community after speaking out against the Hayes brothers.
