A distraught teen who was blinded in one eye during a vicious attack broke down outside court yesterday after one member of the gang involved was caged for four-and-a-half years.
An emotional Alanna Quinn Idris, 18, said she didn’t feel the sentence her attacker Darragh Lyons received was long enough. She added: “Being told today that what happened to me and the life that I’ve lost is only worth four-and-a-half years obviously isn’t the best thing to hear. I’ve to be like this for the rest of my life.
“And in four-and-a-half years he’ll be out and about, I didn’t really feel these consequences are justified considering how I have to be now for the rest of my life.”
