Daughter Assaults Mother with Bottle Over Loud Music at 2:30 AM

UPDATE: A shocking incident in Limerick has left a mother with permanent scars after her daughter assaulted her with a Heineken bottle during an argument over loud music. The attack occurred at approximately 2:30 AM in April 2022, and the mother, in her 50s, has described the incident as a “completely unprovoked attack.”
The accused, a woman in her 20s, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at the Limerick Circuit Court on Monday, where details of the harrowing event were outlined by prosecuting barrister Lily Buckley. According to court reports, the mother had asked her daughter to lower the volume, which escalated into violence.
During the incident, the mother was hit twice with the bottle, resulting in deep lacerations to her lower lip and forehead. Immediate medical attention was required, and she underwent multiple stitches to treat her injuries. Buckley stated, “The victim described blood flowing immediately, with her lip, nose, and forehead all ‘split open’.”
The mother has since expressed fear of her own daughter, stating that she feels a constant reminder of the attack every time she looks in the mirror. In her victim impact statement, she shared, “I feel like I can constantly see the scar… it hurts my self-esteem.” She is now contemplating leaving Croom due to the emotional toll of the incident.
The court heard from defense barrister Liam Carroll BL, who highlighted that the incident stemmed from a troubled family dynamic, exacerbated by alcohol use. He emphasized that the accused has made significant changes in her life since then, with no further issues with law enforcement.
Despite this, the court was informed that the accused has a history of public order offenses, raising concerns about her behavior. Judge Daly stated he would take all factors into consideration before announcing a sentence.
As details of this case continue to develop, authorities are urging families to seek help in managing conflicts, particularly in environments where substance abuse is involved. The emotional and physical scars from such incidents can have long-lasting effects on family relationships.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of alcohol-fueled violence and the devastating impact it can have on families. More updates on the outcome of the sentencing and the ongoing effects of this tragic event are expected in the coming days.
