A former resident of Croke Street, Thurles, Co. Tipperary has avoided an eight month prison sentence, following an assault which occurred at an acute psychiatric unit, on 81 year old patient Mr Gearoid McHugh, leaving latter victim with a brain injury.
Thirty four year old, Mr Brendan McCormack appeared before Ennis Circuit Court, having previously pleaded guilty to the single charge of assault.
Mr Justice Francis Comerford, in sentencing, stated that he accepted that Mr McCormack was struggling from a psychotic episode, when he punched Mr McHugh, while in the acute psychiatric unit, at Ennis General Hospital, on April 24th, 2019 last.
Mr McCormack was only in the acute psychiatric unit some three hours previously, having been brought there by Gardaí as an involuntary admission, and prior to the assault taking place.
Mr McHugh with an address at Quin, Co Clare, was already extremely ill, prior to the assault and sadly passed away almost 5 weeks later, on May 28th, 2019.
In his judgment, Mr Justice Comerford stated that it had not been established that there was any acceleration brought about leading to the death of Mr McHugh, as a result of the single blow from Mr McCormack.
Judge Comerford, however, did imposed an eight month suspended prison term on Mr McCormack, with the condition that he remain under the care of his local mental health services and absent himself from the continuous use of both illegal drugs and alcohol.
In terms of mitigation Judge Comerford stated that there was no premeditation, no weapon and it was a single blow.

Lyrics: Ed Sheeran.
Supermarket Flowers.
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill.
I threw the day old tea from the cup.
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made,
Memories of a life that’s been loved.
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals.
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink.
Dad always told me, “Don’t you cry when you’re down”.
But mum, there’s a tear every time that I blink,
Oh I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up, but I know,
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved,
So I’ll sing Hallelujah.
Chorus
You were an angel in the shape of my mum.
When I fell down you’d be there holding me up.
Spread your wings as you go,
And when God takes you back we’ll say Hallelujah,
You’re home.
Fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up.
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case.
John says he’d drive, then put his hand on my cheek,
And wiped a tear from the side of my face.
I hope that I see the world as you did ’cause I know,
A life with love is a life that’s been lived,
So I’ll sing Hallelujah.
Repeat Chorus
You were an angel in the shape of my mum.
You got to see the person I have become.
Spread your wings and I know,
That when God took you back he said Hallelujah,
You’re home.
END.
