She added that a large number of people were fighting.

The defendant, she added, was highly intoxicated and had fallen into bushes.

The sergeant said the woman was roaring obscenities and referred to the gardaí as pigs.

She also said she had two previous convictions, including one for criminal damage.

Solicitor David Powderly said a family row had spilled outside and the defendant was at her daughter’s house.

He said the woman is extremely embarrassed because she had used atrocious language. He added she is very apologetic and she had no convictions for breaching the Public Order Act.

Judge John Brennan said the defendant was the aggressor and the gardai were subjected to a lot of abuse. He imposed two fines totalling €300.
