• Teen convicted of assault causing harm on lesbian couple in Dublin Assault causing harm · Co. Dublin

  On 16 May 2022, a 15-year-old boy attacked Robyn Deane, 22, and Kate McCabe, 25, at a bus shelter on Drumcondra Road Upper, Dublin, after seeing them cuddling, using a homophobic slur before punching them. The incident was recorded as a hate crime and Gardaí at Santry launched an investigation, with the boy and a second man captured on CCTV fleeing the scene. The boy, now 17, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at Dublin Children's Court in September 2023. Sentencing was adjourned for updated probation, restorative justice, and community service assessment reports, with the boy due to appear again in 12 weeks.
