A Dublin teenager who attacked another boy during a fight that had been pre-arranged on Facebook has avoided jail.
Michael Norris, then aged 17, used a hurley to attack the 15-year old victim at St Anne's Park, Raheny on January 4th, 2012.
The now 19 year old - from Swans Nest Avenue in Kilbarrack - told gardaí he intervened in the fight because of a call for help from his friend, who had arranged the meet up with the victim.
He pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to assault causing harm.
He has no previous convictions and was handed a two-year sentence - suspended in full on condition that Norris keeps the peace and is of good behaviour for two years.
