Drunk and stoned teen had ‘no idea’ what he was doing

A teenager who knocked a woman off her bike, beat her up, and stole her groceries said he was so drunk and stoned he had “no idea” what he was doing.

Joseph O’Toole, 19, is to be sentenced later at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to give him time to complete an alcohol rehabilitation programme.

The court heard O’Toole and a co-accused beat up and robbed the woman just half an hour after they attacked and robbed a man in his late 60s on the same stretch of road.
