An unnamed man received a fully suspended two-year sentence for assault causing harm at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, in a decision reported on 11 February 2025.

He had pleaded guilty to assaulting his former partner at her home in November 2020; the report says he also struck her teenage brother and threatened her during the attack.

The court heard he was the sole carer of his children, and the judge said imposing custody would be unfair to them.
