The sister of murdered gangland victim Noel Campion knelt and prayed outside the homes of those allegedly involved in her brother's death, a court has heard.
Celia Campion, (38), Ballygrennan Close, Moyross, Limerick, appeared before Limerick District Court, where a public order charge was dismissed by Judge Tom O'Donnell due to lack of evidence.
Solicitor John Herbert said 38- year-old Ms Campion had knelt outside the houses in Cliodhna Park, Moyross, on the evening of April 30th last, the day her brother Noel was buried. She prayed for forgiveness for all those allegedly involved in her brother's death and in conflict.
Mr Herbert said that one of the occupants of the houses in Cliodhna Park poured a cup of coffee over Ms Campion, which provoked a reaction from her sister Sadie. Sadie Campion (36), Pineview Gardens, Moyross, was before the court on two separate public order charges.
When gardaí arrived at the scene they saw Sadie Campion shouting abuse at a number of people in the area. Ms Campion, who was on temporary release from Limerick prison to attend her brother's funeral, was highly intoxicated and was making hand gestures, according to gardaí.
Mr Herbert, defending, said Sadie Campion had been provoked and added her sister Celia was trying to remove her from the scene when gardaí arrived.
Judge Tom O'Donnell said Sadie Campion was known for having a short temper, particularly when she drank and added she was "inclined to lose the head when gardaí in uniform arrived".
He jailed Sadie Campion for one month and ordered the charge against Celia Campion be dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
