Penneys hat and gloves thief ‘goes a bit crazy once a month’

A Co Sligo woman who stole a hat and gloves on a visit to Cork claimed that she goes a bit crazy once a month and did not know what she is doing.

Dennis Healy, solicitor, said at Cork District Court yesterday: “At a certain time every month she goes a bit crazy in the head and doesn’t know what she is doing.”

Judge Leo Malone said he was not a doctor and did not know what to say to that.
