Victim says attack has not changed love for Ireland

The Spanish man brutally beaten with a golf club in Cork City was reunited with his young son yesterday after being released from hospital.

Jordi Roca, 39, from Valencia, said that he was looking forward to spending time with two-year-old Oliver as he recovers from the vicious attack.

“I just want to grab him and hug him,” Mr Roca said as he left Cork University Hospital (CUH) just before 4pm.
