“They beat me like they wanted me dead”, an emotional Ciaran Ryan told the court previously
Two brothers of Limerick hurling star Kyle Hayes , were jailed today for savagely beating a friend with a hurley and a wrench.
The qualified carpenter who runs a car sales business in Limerick city said he still finds himself paralysed in fear by the “psychological carnage” of the attack.“It is like a veil of darkness descended on me that day, for no reason, a darkness that still lingers in my parish until now, but Cian and Daragh have yet to apologise to me.”
Mr Ryan said he continues to suffer with “horrendous nightmares and suicidal thoughts” and said, “I fear for my safety on a daily basis ... sometimes I don’t even want to wake up.” Mr Ryan said the brothers threatened him and outlined ‘the consequences’ of telling anyone what had happened. Detective Sergeant Michael Reidy, Newcastle West Garda Station, told Ms Buckley it was a “severe beating”.
“They hit him everywhere except his head and his feet, they paused to question him again, but they believed he was lying, and they hit him again three or four more times. The two brothers also used tools to straighten Mr Ryan’s car keys which had been “bent out of shape” in the impact of the beating.
