The court heard that Anthony Dinnegan suffered life-threatening injuries: a laceration to his liver, bowel and lungs.

A "miracle" saved the life of a father who was repeatedly stabbed in broad daylight after a feud escalated in Mullingar, Co Westmeath, a court has heard.

An ongoing dispute has led to 15 incidents within the past five weeks, including shots fired at a house, the discovery of a firearm and cartridges, criminal damage, death threats, assaults and a stabbing. Gardai arrested five men who appeared before Patricia Cronin at a special late sitting of Mullingar District Court on Wednesday night.
