Man who glassed victim in nightclub will not serve any extra sentence

A first-time offender will not serve any extra jail time for a nightclub ‘glassing’ assault, despite an appeal by prosecutors which raised “significant issues”.

Jordan O’Donovan, aged 20, with an address at Willow Bank, Fairhill, Cork had pleaded guilty to assault causing serious harm to another man in the Savoy nightclub on Patrick St on December 27, 2013.

He was sentenced at Cork Circuit Criminal Court to three years imprisonment with the final two suspended by Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin on December 15, 2014.
