Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Cathal Crotty (22), from Parkroe Heights, Ardnacrusha, Co Clare, received a three-year suspended sentence at Limerick Circuit Criminal Court last June and was ordered to pay €3,000 in compensation after he pleaded guilty to carrying out an unprovoked attack on Natasha O'Brien on O'Connell Street in Limerick in May, 2022.
