Charles Dooher suffered severe head injuries in the attack

Following a horrific attack, a man is currently in a critical condition, unable to perform basic functions such as walking, talking, or breathing on his own, leaving his future uncertain.

Charles Dooher, a 26-year-old farmer from Lifford in County Donegal, was viciously assaulted at his home by a masked gang wielding iron bars and other weapons on 20 January.

His girlfriend, Charlotte Gallen, expressed deep sorrow at the devastating impact the attack has had on her partner.

The couple had aspirations of marriage and starting a family, but now face an uncertain road ahead due to the severity of his injuries.
