Martin Collins, 39, was attacked with a slash-hook and hatchet at Hartstown Road, Dublin, on 7 February 2015 after his car was rammed and crashed onto a footpath, with his young daughter in the back seat. Five men, Brendan Donavan (30), Eddie McDonagh (32), James McDonagh (28), Michael McDonagh (36) and James Whelan (30), all from Balbriggan, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court sitting at Croke Park after the trial had begun.
