“Something happened that night to cause you to lose your temper quite badly.
“After being thrown out of the pub you got the assistance of your sons and another person and went on a revenge attack that resulted in very serious injuries to Mr Ludbrook.
“He suffered a severely fractured nose and a torn retina that needed emergency surgery to save the eye.”
Witnesses described seeing either an umbrella or baseball bat, but nobody else has been prosecuted and McNulty’s sons, Ross, 28 and Connor, 25, did not give evidence.
