A mother of four who was caught attempting to pull “the hair off” another woman during an ugly brawl in the centre of a midlands town has told a court she has been left “deeply ashamed” by her actions.

Julie Stokes (31) Springlawn, Longford, was arrested by gardaí following the unsavoury incident that spilled out onto the Main Street of Longford town on December 17 last year.
