Longford Circuit Court: Community Service for party assault

A Longford woman who pleaded guilty to her part in the assault of a husband and wife was sentenced to 200 hours of community service.

Dannielle Shanley (29) of 30 Springlawn, Longford was before Judge Kenneth Connolly arising from an incident in the early hours of the morning on August 2, 2020.

The assault occurred when the couple asked neighbours to keep the noise of a late night party down.

Co-defendant Ian Whelan (23), 9 The Mill, Clondra received a sentence of two years and six months, suspended for five years at a previous Court sitting.

Following an assessment by the Probation Service Judge Connolly imposed a sentence of 200 hour of community service in lieu of three months in custody.

The judge directed that the community service order must be completed within 18 months or the prison.
