Poor fella…for a night out to end this way is tragic!!!
And the judge will say i will suspend the sentence,now go home and relax for yourself
Stronger sentences need to be handed for drink fueled assaults. It should be a mandatory ten years for this kind of offence, not the piddling couple of years that are handed out by a judiciary that is completely out of touch with reality.
This is something that needs to be dealt with urgently. We only hear about the deaths and seriously injured but there are numerous incidents of injury every weekend that don’t feature in the media. Young people who go out for a night ending up in A + E with stitches and broken bones etc from drink and drug-filled little pups who seem to have no idea how to behave in normal society.
It ain’t the first time it happened in thurles….
I hope this man makes a good recovery, very sad!
Unfortunately he has since passed away.
Gardai have ‘appealed’.
have your say
