During the attack on November 5, 2023, the victim feared for her life as she endured the frenzied assault.
She stated: "I know he intended to kill me that night."
According to the Irish Independent, the 31-year-old, whose identity remains concealed for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to charges including causing serious harm, false imprisonment, and making threats.
He also admitted to assaulting a friend who intervened.
The victim sustained lacerations, bruises, and a permanent scar, while her friend also suffered injuries.
Despite previous convictions and breaches of a safety order, the accused claimed self-defence and expressed remorse.
In victim impact statements, both women detailed the lasting trauma from the assault, with one describing feeling like a "rag doll".
Sentencing has been adjourned for further consideration, with concerns raised about the accused being released back into the community.
