Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said Duddy did not recall what had happened due to her state of mind at that time.

He said it was a ‘serious matter’ made more serious by the fact she was in breach of suspended sentences.

District Judge Barney McElholm imposed an enhanced Combination Order with two years Probation and ordered her to pay compensation.

He warned Duddy that the new Order was much less flexible than the old orders and if she stopped attending she would be back in court forthwith and be going to prison.
