Viciously assaulted outside nightclub

A student who will be scarred for life after having been attacked by a nightclub bouncer has been awarded damages in the Circuit Civil Court.

Elaine Bennett, aged 28, of Glenary, Glencoo Park, Boreenmana Rd, Cork, told her counsel, Mark O’Connell, that she had been celebrating New Year 2014 with friends when she and her friends decided to go to Krystle Nightclub, Harcourt St, Dublin.

She said her friends had gone inside while she stayed outside for a smoke. When she had wanted to get in, she was refused entry because, according to bouncers, she was “too drunk”. She had drunk seven glasses of wine that day.
