A pre-sentence report has been ordered in regard to a woman who admitted causing damage valued at £1,500 to a local bar.

Florence Amanda Cullen (43) of Chapel Road in Derry admitted two charges of being disorderly in a licensed premises and criminal damage on February 25.

The court heard that staff at Duke's Bar had previously barred the defendant from the premises and on the date she entered the bar.
