Woman’s arm broken during Christmas party row

A Christmas night out at a hotel in Cork ended with one woman pushing another woman down steps, causing her to break her arm in two places.

Judge Con O’Leary yesterday ordered Sharon Crowley, of 24 Ashbrook Heights, Lehenaghmore, Togher, Cork, to do 200 hours of community service instead of serving two months in prison for the assault.

Crowley, aged 33, pleaded guilty at Cork District Court to a charge of assault causing harm to Louise Crowley, who is aged around 20 and is not related to the defendant.
