Ms Loughrey's solicitor said she had come to court with a clear record and had been drinking vodka with friends all night before the incident. He described her behaviour as shameful and said it was unfortunate her reputation was now blemished. The deputy district judge at Strabane Magistrates' Court said he believed it was a "one-off incident" caused by Ms Loughrey consuming a lot of alcohol. "You have had more advantages than most people in the last number of years, but they have obviously brought some problems," he said. "I accept you have made a major contribution to the local community, but you will be treated as anyone else will be treated coming before the court with a clear record."
