Ian Doyle 34, who was on bail at the time for assaulting a different partner, did not let the woman leave the house - despite her needing medical attention - for nearly a week following a series of attacks in her home in February 2023.

Her four-year-old daughter was asleep upstairs at the time of this first assault.

Doyle, of Cashel Avenue, Crumlin, pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assaulting the woman causing her harm and threatening to kill or cause serious harm on dates in February 2023.
