A mother and daughter have been charged in connection with a disturbance at Ravensdale, Mahon in Cork city yesterday evening.

Julia and Julianne McDonagh, of Inchera Close in Mahon, appeared before Cork District Court where they were each charged with possession of a knife at Jacob's Island on 9 May.

Garda Rose Jennings gave evidence of arrest, charge and caution.

Sergeant Pat Lyons said that gardaí had no objection to bail once both women adhere to strict conditions.

Julia McDonagh, the mother of Julianne, has to reside at her residence in Mahon.

She also has to abide by a curfew from 10pm to 8am daily and has been instructed to sign on three times a week at Anglesea Street Garda Station.

Julia McDonagh was warned not to cross northwards of the River Lee unless she has to attend a medical appointment or for legal representation. She was also told to abstain from all intoxicants.

Her daughter Julianne, who is in her 20s, was also given the same bail conditions.

Solicitor for the mother and daughter, Shane Collins Daly, said his clients would have no difficulty in obeying those conditions.

He applied for and was granted legal aid for Julia McDonagh as she is on a Widow's Pension.

Julianne also received legal aid as she is in receipt of Job Seeker's Allowance.

Both women have to notify gardaí of any change to their address.

Judge Olann Kelleher remanded the mother and daughter on bail until their next court appearance on 14 June.

The Director of Public Prosecutions' directions in the case are expected to be furnished on that date.

The women were among nine people arrested after reports that at least one shot was discharged in Mahon at around 5.15pm yesterday.
