Audrey McKeever received an 18-month sentence, suspended on strict conditions, at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. She pleaded guilty to making threats to kill or cause serious harm and criminal damage arising from an incident at an apartment complex in Crumlin on 20 December 2022.

Judge Martin Nolan ordered McKeever to have no contact with the victim and not to go near the apartment building. He also directed that €230 be paid towards repairing the door, with a further €500 due in 15 months.

The report said McKeever co-operated with gardaí and had made admissions. Defence counsel said she was under pressure, had used illegal substances and sought detoxification within five days of her arrest; Detective Garda Jason Weir accepted there had been no repeat incident or recent garda attention.

The proceedings were reported on 18 December 2023.
