Victim chased on street in attack which left him like 'shell of a man'

TWO men have been jailed for eight years and four years respectively for engaging in a feud between two Traveller families that resulted in a man being stabbed multiple times.

The Central Criminal Court previously heard the families involved have since engaged with the Traveller Mediation Service to reconcile their differences.

Passing sentence yesterday, Mr Justice David Keane said the assault on Anthony Dinnegan was particularly vicious, where he was chased along a busy street and sustained multiple stab wounds.

In a victim impact statement, Mr Dinnegan said the attack had a profound impact on him “stripping away the person I once was”, leaving him a “shell of a man”.
