A woman repeatedly failed to answer the door to gardaí during a curfew because she was in a deep medicated sleep and is "one of the few who can disengage" from her mobile phone, a court heard.

Rose Stocker, 41, of 83 Forthhill, Moneygourney, Douglas, was accused of repeatedly breaching one of her bail conditions - to remain at home during curfew.
