Woman is lucky to avoid jail A woman who pleaded guilty to assault at Dundalk District Court avoided a conviction after paying €2,000 to her victim. Nicole Sheridan (21) of 9 Coultry Drive, Ballymun, Dublin, admitted a charge of assault causing harm at Park St on October 21 last year. Barrister, Irene
Sands, stated that the third year college student was currently on a placement that required Garda Vetting and this would be affected by any conviction. She added that Ms Sheridan had taken out a loan to help gather €2,000 while she also had college fees to pay. The victim of the assault told Judge John
Coughlan that she would be happy to accept this sum as compensation. Judge Coughlan stated that in those circumstances he would apply the Probation Act and initially rejected a plea from Ms Sands to have the case struck out as this would show up in the vetting process. He stated that it was a seri-
ous assault and she was lucky she wasn’t going to jail. Ms Sands later had the case recalled and explained that the victim was happy to accept the compensation and didn’t want the defendant to be affected in terms of Garda Vetting. As a result, Judge Coughlan agreed to strike the case out.
