Tourist spent weeks in coma and 'will never be the same again' after city attack
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: The judge set a headline sentence of six and a half to seven years, but reduced this on account of Bornac's young age, his previous good character, lack of any record, work history, guilty plea and cooperation with gardaí. "I can come to the conclusion that Bornac is unlikely to offend to any great degree in the future," said Judge Nolan.
