Woman threw glass at man in Flannery's in row over jackets
Summary
In April 2017, Ingrid Olivares, 28, threw a glass of alcohol at Mr Padraig Hennessy during a late‑night dispute over jackets at Flannery's pub, Camden Street, Dublin. The impact left Hennessy with a permanent scar requiring nine stitches. Olivares, a Mexican national studying for a master's in marketing at DIT, admitted she had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol and became irate when she witnessed a verbal altercation between her boyfriend and another man, each claiming a jacket on a stool. She pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court. Judge Karen O'Connor, noting Olivares' full admissions, early guilty plea, lack of prior convictions, and letters describing her as law‑abiding, imposed a two‑year sentence. She was ordered to complete 200 hours of community service within 12 months, with the court recognising the benefit of community service over custodial time.
