Pregnant mother high on drugs beat and robbed man

A mother who was pregnant and high on crystal meth when she beat and robbed a man, having lured him to an apartment, has been jailed for six months.

Pamela Maher, of Upper Gerald Griffin St, Limerick, was sentenced yesterday to six months as part of a three-year suspended sentence imposed at Limerick Circuit on February 7, 2014.

The court heard yesterday that Maher, who funded her drug abuse through street prostitution, had breached her bail conditions after she reoffended during the term of the suspended sentence.
