Witness claims defendant twisted bottle into his eye

A man has told a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury that another man twisted a broken bottle into his one good eye, leaving him totally blind.

"I could see him looking up at the ceiling as he twisted the bottle. That was the last thing I saw. I could feel my sight going," John Delaney, aged 44, told prosecuting counsel, Mr Anthony Hunt BL, on day-two of the trial.
