Louth woman (20) bit Garda during early morning incident outside nightclub
Anete Zukule (20), Glenwood, Dublin Road, Dundalk, pleaded guilty to two counts of Section 2 assault, resisting a Garda, being intoxicated in public and using or engaging in threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour or words, in Park Street.
It was stated on her behalf that she deeply regretted what occurred and wanted to apologise directly to the officer. She had mental health problems.
Judge Nicola Andrews remanded Ms Zukule on continuing bail to November 19 for a community service assessment.
Court presenter Sgt Letitia McConnell said that at 5am on October 1, 2022, Gardaí were flagged down outside Ridley's nightclub. A woman was trying to gain entry.
She called one of the officers a 'f**king c**t' and shouted that she 'wasn't f**king drunk'.
The defendant resisted and 'attempted to bite a number of Gardaí'.
She did bite one of the officers and tried to gouge the eye of another.
There were two previous Public Order charges.
