Woman charged with attacking and robbing €300 necklace from girl, 15, in Cork park

It is alleged the defendant demanded money from three teenagers but that the 15-year-old only had €1 — her bus fare home — and she was then punched in the face, kicked in the back, caught in a headlock and robbed of her chain

Garda objected to bail and said one of the grounds for the objection was the seriousness of the alleged incident. File picture: Larry Cummins
