Louth woman had role in ‘vicious assault' which occurred after break-in
Lisa Smith (34), with an address at the time of Doolargy Avenue, Muirhevnamór, Dundalk, pleaded guilty to assaulting another female causing her harm. A burglary charge was taken into consideration. Dundalk Circuit Court heard that the defendant and a male co-accused entered the house at a different address in Doolargy Avenue on March 5, 2022. The man had previously been in a relationship with the 32-year-old victim. Gda Stephen Kilgannon said that Gardaí were alerted at 8.30am and when they arrived the woman was being treated by ambulance personnel. She was bleeding at the back of her head and was confused and distressed. She identified Ms Smith as one of her attackers. CCTV footage obtained by investigators showed the defendant entering the house. The victim had clumps of her hair pulled out, bruising to her neck, shoulders and around her eyes. Photos of the injuries were in the book of evidence. The woman did not make a Victim Impact Statement. Ms Smith co-operated with Gardaí. She admitted going into the house and pulling the woman's hair out. She had no excuse other than assisting her friend. Gda Kilgannon said that the she had no previous convictions nor had there been any trouble since. She was generally quite pleasant to deal with and 'appears somewhat of a good mother'. She had abided by onerous bail conditions. Counsel for Ms Smith said that this was at the higher end of Section 3 assault. The defendant accepted responsibility from the beginning. She wanted to apologise. ADVERTISEMENT A volunteer with a homeless charity, she was under the influence of the co-accused. It was a joint enterprise of an 'horrific assault'. Judge Dara Hayes said that the victim had been attacked in her own home and sustained serious injuries. The other person appeared to have greater culpability. There was a plea of guilty which would have been of greater value had it come earlier. The defendant took a role in a vicious assault and unprovoked attack. It may not have been the dominant role. The Garda evidence was that she got caught up in this at the behest of the co-accused and was the lesser party. Judge Hayes continued that the victim had resumed her relationship with this man. Ms Smith was remorseful and had taken neither drink nor drugs since. A two-year five-month sentence was imposed, suspended in its entirety for that period. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme

Residents rage at notorious €100,000 drug ship stuck in Cork harbour
The people of a harbour village are sick to the teeth of looking at a big steel monster every day – the notorious drug ship the MV Matthew that is costing the State €100,000 a week to store and maintain. Passage West in Cork harbour has become home to the big bulk vessel for the past few months and there is no sign of it moving any time soon. Locals complain that they can't sleep at night, such is the 'weird sounds and noise' that come from the ship after dark and some even fear it is haunted. One man said: 'They have to keep the power on 24/7 to keep it afloat otherwise God knows what might happen. But it makes all sorts of funny noises especially at night and people say they can't sleep with the racket. 'Some even believe there is a ghost onboard but I wouldn't believe a word of that. Everyone around here has an opinion and are sick and tired of the sight of it. 'This ship is an eyesore in our harbour and trust me, we are fed up looking at it every day. The sooner it is gone the better.' But for the poor beleaguered Irish taxpayer there is nothing funny about keeping the MV Matthew seaworthy while it waits to be sold for shipping or scrap. The Revenue Commissioners is responsible for its current safekeeping and it is costing the State around €100,000 a week to keep it afloat since it was seized by our brave Army Rangers and naval service on September 26, 2023, in an international drugs sting. Our troops found over 2.2 tonnes of cocaine onboard the Panama registered vessel with a street value of €157 million, one of the biggest drug seizures in the history of the State. The Revenue has been given the all-clear by the courts to go ahead and sell it on the international market and is now under severe pressure from the people of Passage West to get it done as quickly as possible. Locals had hoped it would be gone by the end of summer but now the whole process could take several months and even run into next year. Seamus McGrath, Fianna Fail TD from Co Cork, who represents the area, has been inundated with complaints from people who want the ship removed. He has repeatedly called on the Revenue Commissioners to move much faster. He said: 'The whole process needs to be hurried up. It is taking far too long to dispose of the ship. 'I'm very concerned about the delays with the process and am being told by the Revenue that it will take several more months. 'In reality that could be the end of the year. I am calling on Revenue to review the disposal process and try to speed it up. 'The community has put up with a lot in terms of noise and it really needs to be sorted.' Sinn Fein councillor Eoghan Fahy said: 'Revenue need to at least advise us of what steps have been taken to sell it to date and what they intend to do in the coming weeks and months to dispose of the MV Matthew.' Revenue says it could not shut down the power on a ship of that size to stop the noise. Revenue Commissioners stated: 'An order of disposal was granted in respect of the MV Matthew on December 2, 2024.' The ship has been formally confiscated by the State and any monies received from the sale will be offset against the €6 million spent to keep it in ship-shape.

Judge tells man whose partner died after festival drug use it is ‘one of the saddest cases'
The court heard that Mr Carroll and his girlfriend had attended the Forbidden Fruit festival on June 2, 2024, where they both consumed drugs A 24-year-old man whose partner died after they both took drugs following a music festival has avoided a conviction for simple possession, in what a judge described as "one of the saddest cases" to come before his court. The District Court was told that the defendant Brian Carroll has now made a commitment to living a "drug-free life". Mr Carroll, of Cedarmount Road, Mount Merrion, Co Dublin pleaded guilty to possession of MDMA and cannabis and appeared before Judge Conor Fottrell at Dún Laoghaire District Court on Wednesday. Stock image News in 90 Seconds - 7th June The court heard that Mr Carroll and his girlfriend had attended the Forbidden Fruit festival on June 2, 2024, where they both consumed drugs, while further substances were taken later at a house in south Dublin. The woman was found unresponsive later that night and died as a result. Mr Carroll had been in a relationship with the deceased for two and a half years. Gardaí who carried out a search of the house recovered cannabis worth €44, €16 of MDMA and a small quantity of cocaine. Garda Harry Poole told the court that the drugs were for personal use and were at the lower end of the scale. The court heard that Mr Carroll later voluntarily attended a garda station, gave a full account of what occurred and has not come to garda attention since. Judge Fottrell initially questioned whether the District Court had jurisdiction to hear the case, given the serious background circumstances. 'I appreciate the plea before the court today, but this is a serious matter,' he said. 'I'm not sure it's a District Court matter.' Defence solicitor Mark O'Sullivan said it was a tragic accident and argued that the case before the court concerned a minor possession matter. 'That's all the court is being asked to hear today,' he said. After considering the details, Judge Fottrell accepted jurisdiction. 'On the basis of what's before me, the circumstances are tragic. I'll accept jurisdiction.' Mr O'Sullivan told the court that Mr Carroll and the deceased had bought the drugs together, but the woman had taken more than his client. He said his client was fully cooperative, had no previous convictions, and had voluntarily presented himself to Gardaí. Letters were handed into court from Kilmacud Medical Centre and the Community Addiction Response Programme. The court heard Mr Carroll had engaged in trauma counselling following the incident, tested negative for drugs in recent months and remained in full-time employment. He had also volunteered with Little Flower Penny Dinners during the Covid-19 pandemic. The woman's father and sister were present in court. 'On behalf of my client, I extend our sympathies to the family,' Mr O'Sullivan said. 'Relations remain good between them. This was an absolute tragedy.' In a personal letter to the court, the man expressed remorse and a commitment to living a drug-free life. Judge Fottrell acknowledged the man's remorse, the steps he had taken since and the tragic nature of the case. 'This is a tragic case,' he said. 'The consequences were anything but minor. However, the value of the drugs involved is low, and there are no previous convictions". 'You've pleaded guilty, made full admissions, and taken meaningful steps since. I don't propose to impose a conviction. "This is one of the most unusual and saddest cases to come before the court. I hope you continue your recovery," the judge said, addressing the defendant. Judge Fottrell concluded the matter without a conviction, following a €1,000 charitable donation. Funded by the Courts Reporting Scheme.
