Couple sentenced to three months each for having sex on DART

A COUPLE who had sex in full view of rush-hour commuters on a DART carriage last year have each been sentenced to three months in prison.

Debbie O’Connell, aged 21, and her partner Michael O’Connell, aged 27, yesterday pleaded guilty before Dun Laoghaire District Court to a charge of public indecency on July 5, 2006.

Garda Ciarán Cassidy told the court that the pair had boarded the DART at Sandycove at around 6.15pm that evening and had engaged in “a sexual indecency” before getting off the train at Bray.
