  Sonya Egan, 42, a woman from Killeens, Co Cork, mounted a year-long campaign of harassment against Jonathan O'Brien, 50, a man and former Sinn Féin TD, and Laura O'Connell, 43, a woman and businesswoman, between January 2018 and June 2019. The campaign included over 5,500 calls and texts, use of more than 20 Facebook profiles, posing as a barrister, and approaching the victims' children. Egan pleaded guilty to two counts of harassment at Cork Circuit Criminal Court on 3 February 2022. On 27 June 2022, Judge Helen Boyle sentenced her to three years in prison with the final year suspended, conditional on a seven-year no-contact order and a 50-yard exclusion from the victims' homes and workplaces.
