Assaulted man loses fight for life

A BUSINESSMAN who was brutally assaulted on Easter Monday has lost his fight for life.

Father-of-three Aidan Gahan, 57, from Glenbrien, near Enniscorthy in Wexford, was attacked in the early hours of April 9 while on the way home from a night out with his wife.

He was initially treated at Wexford General Hospital but, after slipping into a coma, was transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin later on Easter Monday.
