Trawler assault man is fined
Judge Thomas Fitzpatrick rejected the claim by Stephen Hyde of Four Winds, Weaver’s Point, Crosshaven, Co Cork, that the injured party was the one who tried to head-butt him and that this misfired to such an extent that he injured himself.
The injured party, Aiden Coniry, is a former partner of Hyde’s sister and the judge noted that there was a domestic background to the incident.
