A man who attacked his then partner after returning home from a wedding has received a fully suspended sentence.
Graham Shields (34) “lunged” at his then partner and punched her in the face causing “significant injury”. The assault marked the end of their relationship and had “an extremely profound psychological effect on the injured party”.
Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard that Shields, who has been diagnosed with an anti-social personality disorder, is now on “cordial terms” with his ex-partner and contributes to the financial well-being of their son.
