Derry Court: Woman (34) who breached bail, bailed on 'final warning'

A woman who is on bail charged in connection with an attack on a man in John Street last month has been given her 'final warning' at Derry Magistrate's Court after breaching her bail.

Tanya Murray (34) of Lawrence Hill in Derry appeared charged with breaching her bail on June 1 by having taken alcohol.

A police officer told the court that police were in attendance at Murray's address and noticed she was intoxicated.

A breath test was carried out and she was found to have a reading of 96mgs with the legal limit being 35mgs.

Bail was opposed as the officer said it was her second breach with the first one occurring some three days after her being granted bail.

Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said that this case was one of her being intoxicated at home and not in public. 

He said police were in attendance at her address due to an unrelated matter and there were no further offences. 

The solicitor said that Murray had alcohol issues and was seeking help for that. 

Deputy District Judge Liam McStay said that the difficulty for Murray was that she was on bail for 'very serious violence' and had received a warning on her last appearance.

He told the defendant that this was her final warning and re-released her on bail to appear again on June 8.
