Woman’s jaw was broken in drunken fight

A Dublin mother is to be sentenced in May for breaking another woman’s jaw, biting her cheek and pulling out “chunks” of her hair during a drunken fight at a house party.

The victim had plates inserted into her jawbone and was left with facial scarring and bald patches on her head as a result of the assault, a court heard.

Mother-of-one Kelly McGlynn, aged 27, of Holywell Rise, Swords, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Fiona Benson in the early hours of April 30, 2011.
