A Cork grandmother narrowly escaped being jailed until her next court appearance after she repeatedly refused to wear a mask in a shopping centre.
Margaret Buttimer, 66, of the Cottage, St Fintan’s Rd, Bandon, Co Cork, was previously sentenced to 90 days in jail after she repeatedly refused to wear a mask in public indoor places in west Cork. At 11.10am on Thursday, Buttimer was again arrested for refusing to wear a mask in Riverview Shopping Centre, Bandon.
