    Cathal Bourke, a 43-year-old healthcare worker, was hit twice in the mouth by Mark Bennett in an unprovoked assault at Bennett's home in Mountmellick, Co Laois, on 23 June 2017, knocking out three teeth. Bourke was out of work for several weeks and required dental treatment. He sued Bennett, and in July 2022 the High Court, with Mr Justice Garrett Simons, awarded him €36,200 in default of a defence after Bennett failed to contest the proceedings.
