• Man sentenced for face slash with kitchen knife in Ennis Assault causing harm; production of a kitchen knife · Co. Clare

  On the night of 10 February 2019, William McDonagh, a 31-year-old man, slashed Wayne Higgins, a 25-year-old man, across the face with a kitchen knife at the Laurel Lodge homeless hostel in Ennis, County Clare. Higgins was left with a 20cm wound requiring 14 stitches, nerve damage, and a deep scar near his left eye. McDonagh pleaded not guilty to assault causing harm and the production of a kitchen knife. A jury at Ennis Circuit Court convicted him of both offences in October 2021. In August 2022, Judge Brian O'Callaghan imposed a suspended three-year sentence on condition McDonagh pays €20,000 compensation to Higgins.
