Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Mr. Damian Duggan:
When I was stabbed in the chest during a robbery the guy was eventually caught. He would not have gained access to my shop if he had worn a balaclava. Therefore, he knew he would be eventually caught and charged for some robbery. Two people participated in the robbery during which I was stabbed. The guy who came into the premises behind him wore a balaclava. I learned that on another occasion the first guy had put a sawn-off shotgun in the window of a police car and pulled the trigger but, thankfully, the trigger jammed. The same guy had beaten up an elderly woman in a shop in Sutton during an earlier robbery. He had been caught quite a few times before. He was out on bail when he stabbed me and eventually he was charged for attempted murder.
