Summary

In a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court hearing, a Spanish woman who had come to Dublin to learn English suffered permanent facial scarring after being glassed by Rosangela Wyzykowski (34) in a city‑centre pub. Wyzykowski, a trained physiotherapist from Brazil living at Talbot Street, threw a large glass at the victim's face after a confrontation that began when the Spanish woman asked her to stop bumping into her while dancing at Dicey's bar. The glass struck the victim's face, causing a deep wound that required eight hours in A&E at St Jame's Hospital and subsequent surgery at a private clinic in Lucan to remove the glass. The victim incurred €2,600 in medical costs and lost about €400 in wages. Wyzykowski was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, fully suspended on the condition of 12 months' probation, and she brought €10,000 and a letter of apology to the court.
