Parents recognised son from ‘Crimecall’ footage

Adrian Smith, aged 33, of Curkish, Bailieborough, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing harm and attempted sexual assault of a woman in McDonald’s on Grafton St on June 14, 2014. He will be sentenced in July.

Garda Siobhan Murray told Karl Finnegan, prosecuting, the woman tried to reason with Smith on two occasions and told him it was not worth the hassle as they were in a public place and he would be caught. As she started to scream, he told her to shut up.
