Trainee PE teacher attacked Aer Lingus pilot in Copper Face Jacks, court hears

A trainee PE teacher, who injured an Aer Lingus pilot in a “predatory” attack in Dublin’s Copper Face Jacks nightclub, has been given a one-month suspended sentence.

He made no admissions when arrested and entered a guilty plea on the date the case was due to go to a full hearing with six prosecution witnesses in court. He said he has withdrawn from social events in Dublin’s city centre, and his wife cannot sleep when he is away. However, he accepted an apology from the accused.

Eccles, a keen footballer and cricketer, had no prior criminal convictions and involved himself in fund-raising for children in difficult circumstances. Defence solicitor Caroline Egan said the night of the incident was her client’s first time in Ireland, and it had turned into a nightmare.

He should have had to pay his wages for the 6 months he’s was out
