TWO men have been jailed following a violent incident at a house in Foynes during which another man was attacked and thousands of euro worth of damage was caused.
Joseph Mulcahy, 28, of Meadow Lea, Ballyhahill and Thomas Moroney, 24, of Mount David, Shanagolden had pleaded guilty to charges relating to an incident at Saint Thomas Cottages in the village on January 20, 2019.
During a sentencing hearing, Detective Garda Jason Mitchell said the defendants were initially “greeted” into the rented house but that things quickly “turned bad”.
He told Lily Buckley BL, instructed by state solicitor Aidan Judge, that both men started shouting and roaring and that they then “made a drive” for the victim.
