A 43-year-old homeless woman with serious personal challenges has been admitted to the accident and emergency unit of Mercy University Hospital at least 650 times.
Ann Marie Ward was back before Cork District Court today having been arrested on a bench warrant.
Judge Olann Kelleher issued the warrant for her arrest last week when she failed to appear on several charges. They included theft charges, counts for drunkenness and public order offences and charges for failing to appear on other occasions.
