Shelbourne fan punched, kicked Cork supporter

A Shelbourne soccer fan who punched and kicked a 16-year-old Cork City fan during a post-match brawl has had his sentencing adjourned.

Peter Mullen, aged 21, of Tolka Rd, Ballybough, Dublin, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assaulting Daniel Hegarty and causing him harm at Drumcondra Rd Lower on May 14, 2011.

Mr Hegarty was knocked unconscious. In a victim impact report presented in court, his family say he has had difficulty remembering things since.
