Christina Ryan (28), of Gaulstown, Glenmore, has pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of cannabis after gardaí stopped her vehicle on the Cork Road.

For the offence, Ryan received no further sentence, and instead the charge was taken into consideration with the sentences she is currently serving.

She also recently appeared in court for a physical fight that took place in Centra on the Quay, where she threw "forceful punches" and pulled the hair of another party while members of the public were present.

The majority of her previous convictions are drugs related offences.
