Judge critical of feuding families

A 17-year-old girl who set on another girl at their training course because their families had been feuding, has been ordered to pay money to charity or else she will be fined and receive a criminal conviction.

The girl, who wants a career in childcare, pleaded guilty at the Dublin Children’s Court to engaging in a breach of the peace, which happened at a centre in south Dublin where she was taking part in a training course, on a date last September.
