A row between a brother and sister at the bedside of their dying mother was revisited in court yesterday.

Noel Long, aged 62, of Maulbawn, Passage West, Co Cork, was given a three-month suspended jail sentence for his threatening behaviour.

Long pleaded not guilty to that charge and to a further count of assaulting his sister, Julianne Moore, at a ward in Cork University Hospital on Aug 14 last.
