Woman who threatened pharmacy staff and told gardai her surname was Kinahan avoids jail

A woman who threatened pharmacy staff and told gardai her surname was Kinahan has been handed a suspended prison sentence.

Leanne O'Neill, 31, was in an intoxicated state when she made threats to pharmacy staff after they refused to give her a prescription for her aunt. Gardai later established that O'Neill is not connected to the Kinahan surname.

Judge Melanie Greally said the threats would have been very frightening for the staff, particularly when "that particular surname was invoked".
