The incident was captured on CCTV and bar staff could be seen speaking with Cullen before she threw the glass.

The defendant later apologised and offered to pay compensation.

Defence counsel Sinead Rogan said that the staff had maintained they were never in fear of Cullen.

She said her client's offending had 'de-escalated' in recent years.

Cullen was given a 4 month sentence suspended for 18 months and ordered to pay £1,560 compensation.
