A judge has today jailed a machete-wielding Ennis man for two-and-a-half years for hijacking a car owned by a consultant psychiatrist and his then pregnant wife.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Gerald Keys jailed Declan Sherlock (24) formerly of Dromard, Ennis for offences associated with the car-jacking of Dr Narayanan Subramanian and his wife, Anju Sara Alex four days before Christmas Day in 2017.

Mr Sherlock was on High Court bail at the time of the offence and as a result, the two and a half year jail term is consecutive on a two year jail term imposed on Mr Sherlock for a feud-related assault.

In a separate case at Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Keys jailed a younger brother of Mr Sherlock, Jordan Sherlock (19) formerly of Dromard, Ennis for three years suspending the final 18 months for a separate attack on a taxi driver on June 9th, 2017.

In the attack, Jordan Sherlock, 17 at the time, stabbed Abi Ohiku six times with a pen knife near his former home at Dromard, Ennis on June 9th, 2017.

Judge Keys described the attack as “vicious and completely unwarranted”.

The Sherlocks’ victims were not in court for the cases today.

Mr Ohiku was set upon by four members of the Sherlock family in a dispute over a fare.

Judge Keys jailed Damien Sherlock (27) and Declan Sherlock formerly of Dromard to two years with six months suspended in each case for their role in the attack.

Their father, James Sherlock escaped jail and received a two year suspended sentence for his role.

Damien Sherlock has 110 previous convictions with Declan Sherlock having 24 and James Sherlock having 21 previous convictions.

In his victim impact statement, Mr Ohiku said to them: “What kind of human beings are you to bring such in-humane treatment on me?”

Mr Ohiku said that he thinks “about my blood that was gushing from the six stab wounds that you have inflicted upon me everyday and I have not been able to erase that from my head and mind”.

Mr Ohiku said: “The 9th of June is a day I will remember for a long time- the beating and stabbing that you inflicted on me in the attack that night has left me with a huge physical and psychological problems.”

In the separate machete case which occurred six months later at Christmas time in the same Ennis estate of Dromard, Declan Sherlock held the machete up to the stomach of Dr Subramanian.

In his victim impact statement read out at Ennis Circuit Court previously, Dr Subramanian said: “This man made one of the best days of our life after the scan of our unborn on that day in to one of the worst we could have ever imagined in our life.”

A judge said today that feuding Travellers in Ennis “have behaved like savages to each other”.

Judge Gerald Keys made his comment before jailing three men for a series of confrontations between the Sherlock and Molloy families who are related to each other.

Cumulatively, Judge Keys imposed jail terms totalling 50 years and seven months on 12 members and associates of the Sherlock and Molloy families concerning four separate prosecutions.

The vast proportion of the jail terms are suspended and are to run concurrently to the jail terms imposed by Judge Keys.

Addressing the offenders at Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Keys told them that with the feud “all of you have been a disgrace to your families but more importantly to your fellow Travellers.”

Judge Keys said that there is no sign of common sense prevailing in the feud and said that the offenders’ actions can and do lead to resentment towards Travellers.

Judge Keys said that the feuding “must stop and this court will not tolerate this ongoing criminal activity” before saying that some of the participants in the feud don’t even know what it is about.

Judge Keys said that the offenders have been jumping on the bandwagon “and you behave like savages to each other”.

The judge said: “This has to stop.”

In sentencing, Judge Keys imposed a three-year jail term with one year suspended on Declan Sherlock (aged 23) formerly of Dromard, Ennis for a daylight street assault on Sean Slattery that was a flashpoint between the Sherlock-Molloy families on July 28, 2017.

In the assault on Ennis's O'Connell Street, Mr Sherlock struck Mr Slattery while he lay on the footpath 10 times across the head and body with a long wooden pole.

The attack by Mr Sherlock was in response to his brother, Damien Sherlock, being assaulted earlier that day by Thomas Molloy (aged 26) and James Molloy (aged 20) both of Ballaghboy halting site.

In response to that attack, Judge Keys jailed James Molloy and Thomas Molloy for two years for that assault.

The Sherlocks’ father, James Sherlock (aged 50) formerly of Dromard, Ennis, was the getaway driver for the attack on Sean Slattery.

However, James Sherlock escaped jail and was given a number of suspended sentences for his role in three separate flashpoints.

Judge Keys told him that he would have been jailed but for Mr Sherlock’s decision to relocate to Co. Leitrim.

Judge Keys told Mr Sherlock: “You have let yourself down and your family down."

The judge told Mr Sherlock that if he sets foot in Ennis during the period of his suspended jail terms, he will go to jail.
