A radio journalist who was stabbed in the throat by a burglar has seen her attacker sentenced to seven years in jail, the Irish Independent has reported.

A Dublin court heard yesterday that BBC researcher Mairead O’Dwyer was lucky to have survived the attack, after Polish national Leszek Jaorsz stabbed her with a kitchen knife at her Dublin home.
