Man ‘screamed in my face that he would butcher me’

A Dublin man, with a history of violence against women and who changed his identity when moving to west Clare before ‘terrorising’ his fourth female victim, has been jailed for seven years and 10 months.

At Ennis Circuit Court on Monday, Judge Francis Comerford imposed an eight-year-and-seven-month prison term on Scott Donegan (38), suspending the final nine months of the sentence.
