A Wicklow youth blinded a nurse in one eye by throwing a egg at her from a passing car, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court has heard.
David Morgan (18) was out “egging” with his friends when he hit the woman as she walking on the Bray Road. The victim had previously rejected an offer of €10,000 compensation.
Judge Katherine Delahunt adjourned the case until next month to find out if the woman will accept the money going to charity instead.
Morgan, of The Green, Woodbrook Glen, Bray, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Ann Dooley on March 26th, 2008. He took the stand to read out an apology to Ms Dooley.
