A Cavan man who “lurked” in the ladies toilets of a McDonald’s before trying to sexually assault a woman turned himself in after his parents saw him on Crimecall.

Mary Lynch was working her taxi for just over two hours when she encountered Jerry McGrath. It was 2.15am on Monday, April 30, 2007. McGrath emerged from the nightclub in the Headford Arms Hotel in Kells, Co Meath, and asked would she take him to Virginia, Co Cavan, where his sister lived. He was from Dundrum in Tipperary, but was staying with his sister.
