A woman who admitted assaulting a woman working at a casino in Cork City may be dealt with through a restorative justice programme.

Judge Mary Dorgan suggested this might be the approach to take in this case in light of the victim impact evidence from the young woman who was assaulted while working at Leeside Casino on Winthrop Street.
