A young mother has been jailed for a year, for acting as a lookout and joining in a savage unprovoked attack in which a man "danced" on the head of an elderly homeless man.

Rachel Keogh, 24, of Casino Park, Marino in Dublin, kicked the victim at least five times while her co-accused stamped on the man's head and chest more than ten times.

She later told gardaí they only stopped the attack when they thought he was dead.

Keogh was jailed for two years, with one suspended.

Her then boyfriend was jailed for three years last April.
