Suspended term for stalking woman

A 23-year-old farm worker living on a remote peninsula in Clare who stalked an older married woman has avoided jail.

Judge Gerald Keys at Ennis Circuit Court imposed a two-year suspended sentence on Conor Haugh in the harassment case.

Haugh, aged 23, of Killballyowen, Cross on the Loop Head, peninsula in west Clare, pleaded guilty to harassing the 43-year-old woman between February 2014 and January 5 last year.
