Daniella I. admitted she was working as a prostitute. The court heard that earlier that week she had been before the courts in Letterkenny regards working as a prostitute there. Having been brought before Tralee District Court on the foot of an outstanding bench warrant, her solicitor said, after her arrest in Tralee, she had returned to Romania where her 5 year old son lives with her mother.
