An 18-year-old woman who was blinded in one eye in an attack has told a court that her confidence and her chance of having a normal life have been destroyed.
Alanna Quinn Idris took to the stand at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court today to outline the ongoing impact on her life of the attack on December 30, 2021. Darragh Lyons (19) of Weir View, Glenaulin, Chapelizod, Dublin 20, will be sentenced tomorrow after he pleaded guilty to assault causing serious harm and violent disorder at Ballyfermot Road on the night in question.
Lyons further admitted assaulting causing harm to Ms Quinn Idris' friend Louis O’Sullivan during the same attack. Two other men are facing trial in relation to the attack and cannot be named.
