Former Irish soldier Cathal Crotty has been re-sentenced to two years in prison for attacking Natasha O’Brien in Limerick city in 2022.
Last June, the 22-year-old, from Ardnacrusha, received a fully suspended sentence for assault causing harm to Ms O’Brien.
However, the DPP has successfully appealed that sentence on the grounds of undue leniency.
The judges described the case as “clear cut” and said Mr. Crotty should be punished for his actions.
