Electrician jailed for plunging glass into student's eye

An electrician who plunged a glass into a complete stranger’s eye because he accidentally bumped into him has been given a four year sentence by Judge Frank O’Donnell at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Mr Eoin O Cuilleanain lost the natural lens in his left eye as a result of the vicious attack at a city centre nightclub and needs a corneal transplant to restore normal vision.
