A young woman who was banned from driving was caught in her car on a journey from her home first thing in the morning and she reacted by threatening the garda saying that she would punch him in the face.

Judge Olann Kelleher noted at Cork District Court that this behaviour had occurred only one week after she had been banned from driving.
