Accused who broke man's teeth in row over toilet facilities is now friends with victim

Incident took place in Kinsale Road accommodation centre in 2021

The accused admitted the offence but said it was self-defence.

A row over the use of toilet facilities at the Kinsale Road accommodation centre in Cork saw one man punching another, breaking three of his teeth.

The court also heard the teeth were “repaired by a friend for €40” and that the assailant is now both the victim’s friend and his barber.
