Judge Olann Kelleher said that the offences – particularly the assault on the man at Coburg Street and the disturbance at the hospital – were very bad but he noted from the probation report “she has come a long way”. File photo: iStock

A man was struck with a can of coke on the back of the head by a woman he met at an AA meeting and now she has been given a number of suspended jail terms for this and other crimes.

Sergeant John Kelleher said the injured party reported matters to gardaí about a number of incidents occurring on November 25, 2019. The injured party told gardaí that he was having difficulties with the woman whom he met at an AA meeting three months previously.
