Woman smashed ex's new girlfriend's door, window, and oven with golf club

No jail time for accused as court hears victim had been 'effectively taunting' her in a series of text messages sent over the previous 24 hours

Gardai were told that the accused took a golf club with her to the house because her ex partner was using a crutch and she was afraid he would 'give me a bang of it'.

A woman who went to the home of her ex-partner's new girlfriend and smashed the front door, a window, and an oven with a golf club has been given a suspended sentence.

Jemma Donoghue (28) of Ratoath Avenue, Finglas, Dublin, brought a golf club with her when she and another woman took a taxi to the victim's house at Finn Eber Court, Finglas.
