A MEDIATOR within the Travelling community received a month suspended sentence for assaulting a 73-year-old after a sulky crash.
Last November, Martin McDonagh, aged 66, of Riverview Estate, Kilmallock, had pleaded not guilty to assault causing harm and dangerous driving at Riversfield, Kilmallock, on September 9, 2018.
However, after a lengthy contested case in Kilmallock Court, Judge Marian O’Leary adjourned the matter to December to give her decision. She found Mr McDonagh guilty of assault causing harm but not guilty of dangerous driving.
The judge gave an overview of the 73-year-old injured party’s evidence.
