Gardaí claim a Cork woman made 200 calls to the 999 emergency number between garda and ambulance services.

A woman, who gardaí claim made as many as 200 calls to the 999 emergency number in recent months, is alleged to have produced a 'whopper' of a knife when officers attended at her home.

Kay Barrett of Donoghmore in Co Cork replied when one of the charges was put to her: "I object to the charges brought against me, I am not a criminal, tiocfaidh ár lá."
