‘Vicious’ attack on off-duty garda during stag party

A stag party from Co Clare turned sour when one of the visitors to Cork City — an off-duty garda — was knocked unconscious in an unprovoked attack.

Describing it as a vicious, unprovoked assault on an innocent party, Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin yesterday gave the culprit a suspended 18-month jail term.
