Two people have been sentenced to 240 hours community service in lieu of 2 years suspended sentence for the unlawful neglect of Evelyn Joel in Enniscorthy in 2006.
Eleanor Joel is the daughter of Evelyn and Jonathon Costen of Cluain Dara Enniscorthy and they were found guilty in December.
The 2-year sentence was suspended for 2 years on condition of good behaviour.
'Abandoned in her own filth'
Judge Sean O'Donobhain said the evidence was gruesome in relation to how a terminally-ill woman was abandoned in her own filth. He said the picture painted was one of almost mediaeval neglect.
He added that the defence had sought to hold others such as State agencies responsible but that had been rejected by the jury.
The multiple sclerosis sufferer died in Wexford General Hospital on January 7th 2006 less than week after she was removed from the house where she lived with her daughter and her daughter's partner.
