Victim glassed ‘for no apparent reason’

A MEATH man has been sentenced to eight years for glassing a man in a nightclub “for no apparent reason”, causing him to lose sight in one eye.

Mark McGeough, aged 36, hit the victim with a glass because he thought he was fighting with his friend.

Judge Martin Nolan noted the victim suffered “catastrophic” damage and subsequently had to leave his job as a van driver because of the injuries.
