Woman Given Suspended Sentence For Neglecting Children
A woman has been sentenced to four years for the “unnatural crime” of neglecting her own children.
However, at Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Carroll Moran yesterday suspended the jail term for seven years on certain conditions.
Judge Moran said the 38-year-old woman “had deprived her children of a childhood which will have long-lasting consequences for them”.
The court heard the woman described as “vermin” and cruel and evil” by her eldest child, now 17.
The woman pleaded guilty to the neglect and ill-treatment of the five girls and two boys at different periods, from March 2001 to July 2010.
The children, today aged between 17 and four, are now all currently in care.
