Alanna Quinn Idris will no longer appear on the Late Late Show tonight.

18-year-old Alanna Quinn Idris was attacked in Ballyfermot in 2021. She was due to talk to host Ryan Tubridy tonight, but she can no longer appear on tonight’s show.

RTÉ confirmed, “Update to this week’s Late Late Show lineup: Alanna Quinn Idris will no longer appear on tomorrow night’s Late Late Show.”

Alanna’s attacker was sentenced to just four and a half years in prison this week.

Alanna bravely spoke out following the sentencing.

The Irish Sun reported: “I’ve to be like this for the rest of my life. In four and a half years he’ll be out and about.”

Alanna added, “I don’t feel these consequences are justified considering how I have to be for the rest of my life.”

19-year-old Darragh Lyons pleaded guilty to assault causing serious harm and violent disorder. Two other men will also face trial, but they cannot be named.

Alanna was only 17 when the horrific attack took place. The teenager has lost vision in one eye forever.

She also suffered a ruptured eyeball, fractured cheek, broken teeth, as well as a fractured eye socket following the attack.

Alanna has undergone multiple surgeries following the 2021 attack.
