Cork court hears mother woke to find woman taking daughter, 3, from her

It is alleged that the defendant tried to strike the mother with scissors.

Cork District Court heard that the aggravated burglary allegedly occurred on March 9 at Lancaster Quay, off Western Road, Cork.

A woman sleeping with her three-year-old daughter woke in the middle of the night to see a woman she had never seen before standing in her bedroom taking her child from her.

This was the evidence given by Garda Anthony Garvey at a bail application made by 42-year-old Rosemarie O’Sullivan of Ballybough Road, Dublin, and otherwise of no fixed address at Cork District Court.
