A woman who allegedly drove her car at neighbours and shouted abuse at a young boy in her locality was called "an evil woman" by a District Court judge yesterday.
Judge Joseph Mangan made his remarks before sentencing the woman to three months' imprisonment at a special sitting of Galway District Court.
The sentence was imposed on Rita Leonard (52), of Tonemace, Corrandulla, who denied charges of driving without reasonable consideration for other road-users on February 2nd last; using threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour with intent to provoke a breach of the peace on March 9th; and preventing or interrupting the free passage of another person on the same date.
Recognisances were fixed in the event of an appeal.
