Suspended sentence and fine for councillor who threw red paint over Harney in protest
Harney had paint thrown at her, covering parts of her clothes, neck, chest and hands, during a sod- turning ceremony for a new primary care and mental health unit at Cherry Orchard Hospital in west Dublin, on November 1 last.
As the nation went to the polls yesterday Ms Harney, who did not seek re-election, was called by the state to give evidence against Dublin city councillor Louise Minihan.
