On April 15, Christina Ryan of Ballymartin, Mullinavat, Kilkenny, was stood in the deli queue in the store.<\/p>\n
As she walked towards the till, she met a woman who she has a\u00a0 \u201chistory\u201d with.<\/p>\n
A fight ensued between the pair.<\/p>\n
Forceful punches were thrown and they were shouting obscenities towards each other.<\/p>\n
Ryan was captured on CCTV grabbing the other party by the hair and punching her.<\/p>\n
Members of the public were present at the time and had to move out of the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two customers separated the two women.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ryan was charged with affray.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During her court appearance last week, the judge also dealt with a drug offence that Ryan committed on July 8, 2024.<\/p>\n
On that date, she was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by a Garda mobile patrol unit. She was found to be in possession of \u20ac20 of diamorphine (heroin).<\/p>\n
The woman has 44 previous convictions, 29 of which fall under the Section 3 of the Misuse of Drugs Act.<\/p>\n
Judge John Cheatle sentenced the woman to six months imprisonment for the offence committed at Centra. Her sentence will run concurrently to sentences she is presently serving.<\/p>\n
The additional drug matter was taken into consideration.<\/p>\n
