Corkwoman Sonya Egan was sentenced in 2023 to three years in prison with one suspended for a sustained campaign of harassment against community activist Laura O’Connell and then Sinn Fein TD Jonathan O’Brien. She is due for release next week, having served less than two years.

Her victim Laura O’Connell spoke to Deirdre O’Shaughnessy on the Irish Examiner podcast about her fears for what the future holds with her stalker free, the lack of support for victims of crime, and how she has rebuilt her life, which was utterly destroyed after Egan’s relentless four year campaign of lies and intimidation.
