Woman has part of sentence reactivated for assault on nine-month-old niece
A chronic heroin addict who was previously sentenced for repeatedly striking her nine-month-old niece as she was coming down from the drug has had part of her sentence reactivated.
The 27-year-old woman was sentenced by Judge Desmond Hogan in July 2011 to four years with the final two suspended for the offence. Today the court heard that she had committed an attempted robbery following her release and within the suspended portion of that sentence.
