Local stab victim relieved court ordeal is over

Monday, 3 March 2014 00:00

A man from Douglas who was stabbed repeatedly at a music concert in Dublin says he feels justice has been done.

Andrew England was set upon by 24-year-old Raymond Donnan at a Swedish House Mafia gig in Phoenix Park in July 2012.

Last week Donnan – who is from Clondalkin in Ireland – was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to violent disorder and assault.

Mr England has welcomed the sentence saying whilst it was less than he was expecting he is happy with the outcome.

Speaking to the station he says it is a relief that his attacker is now behind bars:
