A Chip shop assistant manager who attacked two men in a McDonald’s after they insulted his job has been spared a criminal record and a prison sentence.

David Delaney (26) of South Brown Street, Dublin 8, had pleaded guilty in April to two counts of assault after he “over-reacted” on the night of February 29, 2020.

Dublin District Court heard yesterday that he had given €300 to Acquired Brain Injury Ireland, in addition to an earlier charitable donation. Judge Treasa Kelly applied the Probation of Offenders Act.
