'I am truly and profoundly sorry': Suspended sentence for mother and son at centre of West Cork island love row

A woman and her son from Cape Clear island have both received six month suspended jail sentences for the harassment of a fellow islander after revelations of a child born out of an affair.

Helen O'Driscoll, 61, and her son Shane, 34, had denied charges of harassing Ann O'Regan on the West Cork island on dates between 1 January 2017 and 1 September last year after it emerged Ms O'Driscoll's husband, Fachtna, had fathered a child with the woman following an affair a number of years before.
