Debs turned to nightmare after man stabbed in head

DEBS ball celebrations turned into a nightmare for a young man who was chased along a city centre quay by three attackers who kicked him on the ground while one of them stabbed him three times in the head.

One of the accused was told by Judge Patrick J Moran: “I am shocked you would go to a debs party with a knife.”

He directed the comment to Thomas Noonan, of Brooklodge, Glanmire, Co Cork, whom he described as the ringleader of the attack.
