Somali man is victim and convict on same day

A Somali native who is due €5,000 compensation for being a gun crime victim will also spend 11 months in jail for glassing a Dublin man in the face during a nightclub fight.

Muhyadine Abdillahi (aged 23) of Blackhall Square, North Brunswick Street, admitted glassing Mr Dennis Carney in the face but insisted it was self-defence and took a trial on the matter at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court last month.
