Man high on 'cocktail of drugs and alcohol' sentenced to six years for 'barbaric' attack

A man who was high on “a cocktail of drugs and alcohol” has been sentenced to six years in prison for what a judge described as a “barbaric” attack on an older male on his way home from a pub.

Liam O’Neill (25) of Kildonan Drive, Finglas pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to robbing Paul Mullarkey at Grattan Parade, Drumcondra on November 29 last year.
