On October 3rd, 2019, Ms Nawrat – who had a history of mental health difficulties, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia – appeared before Trim District Court on foot of a bench warrant to face public order charges. Ms Nawrat was granted bail by the court, but she was unable to pay a €100 bail surety, and therefore committed to custody. Awaiting transfer to the Dóchas Centre, Ms Nawrat self-harmed while in a holding cell at Trim District Court. With gardaí concerned for her wellbeing, she was taken to Mullingar Regional Hospital by ambulance, before later being discharged and taken to the Dóchas Centre.
