Woman gets four years in prison for bottle attack

A WOMAN who left her victim with permanent scarring after she slashed her face and breast with a broken bottle has been sentenced to six years with two suspended.

Ciara Carney, aged 19, of Earlsfort Gardens, Lucan pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing serious harm to Dena Jones on July 4, 2009, on Newcastle Road.

Judge Donagh McDonagh said Ms Jones had been left with “horrendous” and “probably permanent scars” in what he described as an “unprovoked attack”.
