A woman will be detained in custody over the weekend for contempt of court after failing to wear a mask despite repeated exhortations from a judge to do so.

Margaret Buttimer, 66, had already been found guilty of not wearing a face mask at a supermarket in Clonakilty and sentencing on that matter, another alleged similar offence and a new charge were to be considered in Bandon District Court on Friday.
