    Paul Coleman, a 60-year-old taxi and minibus operator from Fatima Park, Dundalk, Co Louth, was attacked and beaten in his home by a group of men on 25 January 2015 after giving evidence in a criminal damage case over a fence incident. Gerard Mulligan allegedly struck Coleman on the head with a machete-like metal bar, while Stephen McMahon allegedly struck him on the forehead with a scaffold pole, fracturing his skull. Mulligan was convicted following a trial in Dundalk Circuit Court and is awaiting sentencing, while McMahon is due to stand trial on an assault charge in January. Judgment in default has been obtained in the High Court against both defendants in Coleman's civil claim for damages.
