A man who robbed a Brazilian escort in a Dublin hotel room and put a knife to her throat has been sentenced to three years in prison, with the final 18 months suspended.

Joey Fagan, aged 35, of Rory O’Connor Park, Deansgrange, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to robbery and production of a knife in a bedroom at Clyde Court Hotel, Ballsbridge, on Oct 8, 2012.

Garda Bryan Hunt said Fagan had made an arrangement to meet the woman in her hotel room shortly before he robbed her.
