Woman who threw glass must pay €2,000 for Stephen's Day assault in Offaly
Victim left with laceration on head after 5am incident in apartment
A WOMAN will pay €2,000 compensation following an early morning St Stephen's Day assault on another woman.
Chloe McBride (27), Father Paul Murphy Street, Edenderry committed the offence on December 26 last at an apartment on JKL Street, Edenderry and was ordered by Judge Andrew Cody to pay compensation.
When Ms McBride appeared in Tullamore District Court this week her solicitor, Patrick Martin, said she would be paying the €2,000 compensation.
Judge Cody said compensation would have to be paid because Ms McBride had hit the victim on the head at 5am, causing a laceration.
Mr Martin said his client wouldn't usually be drinking like that.

Last month a sitting of the court heard Ms McBride and the victim had been drinking together when an argument broke out between them during which the defendant threw a glass at the injured party causing the laceration.
Judge Cody was told the defendant had two previous convictions for minor road traffic matters.
Ms McBride was the mother of one child and was expecting another.
The judge adjourned sentencing again to July 23 for €2,000 to be paid to the injured party.
