A Lixnaw man who caused catastrophic injuries to a man he pushed while working as a security guard at University Hospital Kerry, has asked the victim's family for forgiveness.
Sean Óg Geary avoided jail at Tralee Circuit Court last week after Judge Ronan Munro said he had been put in a situation at work by being asked to keep the man out of the hospital and never intended to hurt anyone.
