 A barman at Cape Clear Island who sexually assaulted a customer after he drove her home and brought her on a tour of the island in the early hours was sentenced to two years in jail.

The jury reached a unanimous verdict of guilty in the case against Duncan Harper, 34, at Cork Circuit Criminal Court, a fortnight ago on two counts of sexually assaulting the young woman on a summer’s night in 2019.
