A young woman who was left blind in one eye as a teenager will tell her harrowing story on tonight's RTE Late Late Show.
Alanna Quinn Idris had been lined up for an appearance on the show last month but that interview was postponed at the last minute after the young man involved in the attack was sentence before the courts.
The teenager from Dublin was blinded in one eye after being attacked in 2021.

RTE has since confirmed that Alanna will now appear on tonight's show to discuss how her life changed after her horrific attack, what it was like giving her victim impact statement in court and her long road to recovery.
Also appearing on Friday night's show are Bertie Ahern, Nicholas Trimble and Aoife Moore.
Former Taoiseach Bertie will join Ryan live in studio to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement and share his memories of the historic day.
David Trimble's son, Nicholas, who was a child when the agreement was signed, will speak about the risk his father took and what his legacy means today and Derry-born journalist Aoife Moore will discuss what the agreement meant and all three will look ahead to the challenges that are in store for the future.
Ahead of US President Joe Biden’s visit to Ireland next week, US Ambassador to Ireland Claire Cronin will speak with Ryan about her Irish roots, how a chance meeting with Mr Biden on a flight lead her to being offered the Ambassador role, and the excitement that surrounds Mr Biden's visit.
Keeping on theme of the Good Friday Agreement, singer Brian Kennedy will perform Life, Love and Happiness, a song he wrote about the peace process with two cross-community choirs, Cairde Community Choir and Belfast Youth Choir.
Jockey Bryan Cooper, GAA All-Stars and English singer Badly Drawn Boy complete the line-up.
The Late Late Show airs Friday nights at 9.35pm on RTE One and RTE Player.
