Cork woman leaving CUH lied about being in fear of people outside to get lift home from gardaí

When accused was told to get public transport home, she said she would smash a window at the hospital if she was not driven home by gardaí

Accused admitted that she had made up the story about people trying to attack her so as to obtain a drive home from the hospital by gardaí.

A patient being discharged from hospital claimed she was in fear of people waiting for her outside but she later admitted making up the story in the hope of getting a spin home in a Garda car.

When it became clear the story about being in fear was made up and she was told to get public transport home, the 36-year-old said she would smash a window at the hospital if she was not driven home by gardaí.
