Suspended sentence for man who molested woman during day time at Fleadh Cheoil

In sentencing the man, Judge Patrick Durcan said that “any citizen walking along a street is absolutely entitled to expect that they can so freely and safely and without any danger of being molested by someone and that is what happened in this case, the lady was molested by this man”.
