Five years for assault of brother

A KERRYMAN has been jailed for five years for assaulting his brother.

David Doody, 46, from An Caisleán Mór, Castleisland, Co Kerry, had, last March, been convicted by a jury of assaulting his 38-year-old brother, John Doody, causing him serious harm at Desmond’s Avenue, Castleisland, in the early hours of January 8, 2006.

However, the jury acquitted him on a second charge of producing a knife in the course of a dispute.
