The Cavern: Victim of assault lost two teeth there
A MAN who lost two teeth in a violent attack in a local pub is “absolutely fed up” waiting for his attacker to pay his medical bills, a court has heard.
David Gibson, who is 21, has already admitted the attack on his victim at The Cavern Bar in Letterkenny on May 19 last year.
Gibson, from 52 The Green Ballymacool in Letterkenny pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at a previous court.
Judge Paul Kelly has been adjourning his sentence in the case until compensation to the victim is paid.
But Letterkenny District Court heard that Gibson still owes €150, and according to his solicitor Kieran Dillon, has been doing his best to come up with the rest of the money.
Garda Inspector Goretti Sheridan told the court that the victim wanted the case dealt with and he was impatient at the rate at which Gibson was paying for his medical bills.
“He’s absolutely fed up with it going on and on,” said Inspector Sheridan.
The victim, she said, had lost two teeth in the attack.
Judge Kelly adjourned the case until next month to allow Gibson to settle the balance of the medical bills.
