A Welsh farmer’s stag weekend in Cork cost him €9,500 in compensation for the man he assaulted at a bar in Cork City.

The visit will also live on in the memory of the victim who faces ongoing dental work and has permanent scarring. Judge Mary Dorgan noted from the victim impact statement how nasty the injury was to the young man’s mouth.
