Kittens were heard meowing from inside a charity clothes bin at a shopping centre and yesterday the woman responsible for this said she was absolutely mortified by her own behaviour.

Eugene Murphy, solicitor, said Evelina Satlenyte, aged 40, of Palm View, Lackenareague, Ovens, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to three charges, each stating that, on May 17, 2017, at Douglas Court shopping centre, Douglas, Cork, she neglected and caused unnecessary suffering and endanger the welfare of a young kitten.

Mr Murphy said on behalf of the Lithuanian woman, who has been working in Ireland for 15 years without a difficulty of any kind: “Quite frankly she is mortified. She has put in 12 months of torture in relation to waiting for the case and has felt the shame visited upon her when this was discussed on a radio show.
