Robert Cronnolly was jailed for three years by Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 2 May 2018 after pleading guilty to assault causing harm.

The attack happened at a home on Railway Avenue, Inchicore, Dublin, after Cornelia Brouder intervened in an argument between Cronnolly and his then girlfriend.

The court heard that Brouder suffered multiple jaw fractures, required facial surgery and was left with permanent metal plates. Judge Martin Nolan described the assault as particularly reprehensible and said Cronnolly’s guilty plea, remorse and personal qualities were mitigating factors.
