Two brothers jailed for attacking a friend they mistakenly thought was romantically involved with one brother's ex.

Two brothers, Daragh and Cian Hayes, have been jailed for severely assaulting their friend, Ciaran Ryan, whom they falsely believed was romantically involved with Daragh's ex-partner. The attack, using a hurley and wrench, left Ryan with a collapsed lung, multiple fractures, and extensive bruising. Daragh received a three-year sentence with six months suspended, while Cian was sentenced to two and a half years, also with six months suspended. The judge described the attack as premeditated and "vigilante-style."
