Pub fight woman loses appeal against jail term

A woman who was on bail when she climbed over a bar to struggle with pub workers has had an appeal against her jail term thrown out.

Last May, Lianne McKee was jailed for a total 30 months for affray, two assaults on police officers, possessing a knife and breaching a suspended sentence.

She injured the manager of the Heron pub in Anagh Coar during an incident in July 2023, and argued her sentence for that offence was too long.

However, Judge of Appeal Cross and Acting Deemster Wild said the court had sentenced her correctly, and said her appeal was without merit - they dismissed the appeal.
