Three-year sentences for men who took part in assault because of cigarette row
Two men who took part in a "vicious assault" on a man in his 50s regarding a row about a cigarette have been sentenced to three years in prison by Judge Patricia Ryan at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Edward Watson (aged 26), kicked Mr Michael Boyle on the ground after a scuffle broke out between them when the victim took a fresh cigarette from his packet after giving Watson the butt of his because he claimed he had none left.
