Brothers jailed for ‘brutal’ assaults

Two brothers, one a Leaving Certificate student, have been jailed for “brutal” assaults two years ago.

Cairbre O’Donovan, 22, and his 19-year-old brother, Óisín, both from Dunmanway, were convicted, at an earlier hearing, of assaults on two men on July 15, 2015, in Clonakilty, Co Cork.

Judge James McNulty told Clonakilty District Court that the sentencing hearing had arisen out of a trial in which the brothers and a third man had been found guilty.
