Sentencing of man who punched Brendan Courtney adjourned

Judge Baxter said the court wanted the probation officer to view the CCTV footage as case adjourned to October

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court previously heard that Brendan Courtney was walking home along the quays around 9.30pm on February 27, 2025, when he was beckoned over to a car stopped at traffic lights.

The sentence hearing of a man who punched broadcaster Brendan Courtney several times has been adjourned for the preparation of an updated probation report.

Ross Deegan, aged 22, of An Riasc, Finglas, Dublin 11, pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Courtney causing harm on February 27, 2025, at Usher’s Quay in Dublin city centre.
