A JUDGE has jailed a teenage ‘Born Again Christian’ for 14 months for an ‘outrageous’ broad daylight machete attack on a busy Ennis street that left his victim requiring 40 stitches to a facial wound.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Francis Comerford imposed a 32 month prison term and suspended the final 18 months on Trevor Quinn (18) after Mr Quinn pleaded guilty to the assault causing harm of Shane Tuohy on Ennis’ Cornmarket Street at 3.30 pm on November 20th last.
