A man has been jailed for ten and a half years for abusing his ex-girlfriend, both physically and mentally, during their relationship.
Daniel Kane of Scariff House, Waterville Terrace, Blanchardstown, Dublin was convicted of coercive control, intimidation and multiple assault charges.
After his trial, he also admitted trying to get her to withdraw her statement through manipulative phone calls he made to her from prison.
Judge Elma Sheahan said his failure at any stage to accept his wrongdoing and the harm he caused was particularly troubling.
