A Sligo woman has been jailed for four weeks for coughing on a garda.
Rachel Conway of Rusheen Ard, Caltragh was arrested yesterday afternoon at Riverside in Sligo Town while drinking with a group of people.
She had refused to give a garda her name, before coughing on them, implying she had coronavirus.
