A woman who carried out a “savage” attack on a new mother who had just returned home from visiting her premature baby in hospital has been jailed for nine months.
Miranda McCabe (37) of Tubberclare Meadows, Navan, Co Meath, pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Stephanie Dunne at Priorswood Avenue, Blanchardstown, Dublin, on November 27, 2021. She has five previous convictions.
Garda Mark Reilly told Diarmuid Collins, BL, prosecuting, that Ms Dunne had just travelled home after visiting her premature baby in the hospital. When she got out of her car, she noticed a car with a man and a woman sitting inside.
