Summary

Charlie Magaharan, 25, of Dublin, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing harm to Lorcan Travers, Peter Hardy, and Marcus Thomas at Custom House Quay on February 6, 2016. The incident occurred after the victims approached Magaharan and an accomplice, who were allegedly damaging a rental bike. CCTV footage played in court captured the assaults, during which the victims sustained injuries including a fractured cheekbone, dislocated shoulder, and fractured eye socket. Magaharan, who has 19 previous convictions, including a two-year suspended sentence for criminal damage in July 2013, accepted that a fight occurred and expressed remorse. The prosecution noted that the victims accepted a letter of apology and €1,000 compensation. Judge Melanie Greally placed Magaharan on a 12-month probation bond, ordering him to engage with Probation Services and undertake recommended courses. The matter was adjourned for a year.
