A little Jack Russell-type dog bit a young woman on the leg as she tried to defend her own dog from attack at the Marina Market and now the judge dealing with the case said: “I feel very sorry for the victim who is totally blameless.” 

The homeless man who had been living at Lower Glanmire Road was ordered to gather €600 compensation for the injured party and he did so. Now Radim Hradsky has been fined a total of €250 on the charges of failing to have his Jack Russell-type dog under effectual control and not having a dog licence.
