Former Irish soldier Cathal Crotty (22) has been re-sentenced to two years in prison for attacking Natasha O’Brien in Limerick city in 2022.
The sentence was handed down by the Court of Appeal after the DPP successfully appealed the original sentence, which was fully suspended.
The judges described the case as "clear cut" and said Mr. Crotty should be punished for his actions.
In what was described as a “vicious, unprovoked attack,” Cathal Crotty knocked Natasha O’Brien out on in Limerick city on the 29th of May 2022.
He broke her nose and she suffered severe concussion, extensive bruising; and continues to battle PTSD and depression as a result of the attack.
