Cork woman admits neglecting children

The 36-year-old woman pleaded guilty to two charges

Judge Philip O’Leary described the case at Cork District Court as 'distressing'.

A 36-year-old woman who confessed to the wilful neglect of children at a convenience shop in Cork city more than one year ago was put on a 12-month probation bond.

The case arose following an alert raised about children in a dishevelled state in the neighbourhood shop.
