Cathal Crotty (22) of Parkroe Heights, Ardnacrusha in Co Clare, boasted about the incident afterwards on social media
A serving Irish soldier, who beat a woman unconscious in a random attack, has walked free from court after getting a fully suspended sentence.
Mr Crotty had initially tried to blame the victim - 24-year-old Natasha O'Brien - by wrongly telling arresting Gardaí that she had instigated the attack.The court heard it appeared he had lashed out at Ms O'Brien after she and a friend of hers had"politely" asked him to stop shouting a slur. Hours after the attack, Mr Crotty messaged friends on Snapchat with the words,"Two to put her down, two to put her out."Judge Tom O'Donnell said the Mr Crotty's actions were"utterly appalling", but said he had"no doubt" if he imposed an immediate jail sentence on Crotty his Army"career is over".
