Ian Doyle was jailed for assaulting his former partner at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 22 November 2022, receiving a total 10-month sentence with four months suspended.

The assault took place in the woman’s home. Doyle had originally faced two charges of assault causing harm, but pleaded guilty to two less serious assault charges after the complainant could not be located for trial.

The judge cited the level of violence and Doyle’s breach of a bail condition requiring him to stay away from the woman. The sentence was backdated by six months for partial credit for time already spent in custody.

The suspended portion was conditional on Doyle having no contact with the woman or her neighbour and staying away from the vicinity of their homes.
