She stated: "I know he intended to kill me that night."
According to the Irish Independent, the 31-year-old, whose identity remains concealed for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to charges including causing serious harm, false imprisonment, and making threats.
He also admitted to assaulting a friend who intervened.
The victim sustained lacerations, bruises, and a permanent scar, while her friend also suffered injuries.
Despite previous convictions and breaches of a safety order, the accused claimed self-defence and expressed remorse.
