Court mooner undergoes brain op

A 21-year-old who exposed himself to a judge in court last Friday has undergone brain surgery after a vicious assault at Limerick prison.

Brian Joyce was due to appear at Ennis District Court yesterday in respect of an assault charge on a teenager.

However, when Mr Joyce’s name was called out by the court registrar, his solicitor, Tara Godfrey, said Mr Joyce “is hospitalised critically in Cork”.
