Ms Bruckman told the court she had been in Wexford to visit a friend, but that it didn't work out. She said she had been on the road all night and couldn't help herself.

Meanwhile the German Embassy was telephoned for assistance, but as no official personnel were available before the ending of the court, she was remanded in custody to Mountjoy Prison to appear before Arklow District Court yesterday.

When the case was called yesterday the court was told that contact had been made with the German Embassy and arrangements were in place to fly Ms Bruckman back to Germany later that day.
