A woman has appeared at Derry Magistrates' Court following her thirteenth breach of bail conditions.

Courtney Temple (21) of Jefferson Court in Derry was arrested on July 19 after coming to police attention as a suspect in an assault case.

Temple was given a breath test and gave a reading of 97mgs almost three times the legal limit in clear breach of her bail conditions to abstain from alcohol.

The court heard that this was her thirteenth breach, the majority of which were related to alcohol.

Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said drinking is a major problem for Temple, asking for a 'final, final warning'.

Deputy District Judge Brian Archer granted bail, strongly encouraging her to seek help for her addiction before her upcoming case in Derry Crown Court.
