Judge Connolly also considered the serious nature of the injuries inflicted on the older woman and the effect that the assault has had on her confidence and her ability to go about her life
A woman has been jailed for three and a half years for the “extremely callous and sinister” act of “literally throwing” her 70-year-old neighbour down nine steps of a steep stairs in their apartment building in Abbeylara, Co Longford last year.
Upon arrival, Gardaí spoke with Ms Curran and observed that she was intoxicated. The hallway was dark and Gardaí had to use the torch from a phone to light their way upstairs. They observed a lot of blood in the hallway and on the stairs leading up to the apartment of the injured party. The injuries suffered by the woman included extensive bruising to her hand and wrist, as well as the right hip and buttock, and a wound to the back of her head, which required stitches. She was taken by ambulance to Midlands Regional Hospital Mullingar, where she was treated for her injuries.
“I don’t know why I done it. I had drink on me. If she hadn’t come to my door, I wouldn’t have done it. I didn’t set up my day to do this. I was off the drink and I said f*ck it and decided to have a few drinks.” “Ms Curran’s record is absolutely appalling. It’s a truly horrifying record that she should be thoroughly ashamed of,” said Judge Connolly.
. He fixed a headline sentence of six years in prison, stating that this was a “truly, truly horrible assault that will be properly punished”.
