Photograph: Social mediaA woman has told how her husband urged her to run for her life with their children as he was attacked by a group of men who taunted him as he lay bleeding in a graveyard in Co Kerry.
Ms Dooley said her husband and their three young sons were a few steps ahead of her and her young daughter as they entered the cemetery when she saw some men ahead and she recognised Tom’s brother, Patrick and his brother-in-law and cousin Tom .“I said to my husband ‘Run’ and he turned to me and said ‘Run? Run for what – I have nothing to run for,’” said Ms Dooley.
All six were around her husband as he lay on the ground and shouted at her to flee with their children, but she saw Tom strike him in the leg with a weapon and he was laughing as he did so, saying “You’re a big man now.”
