The trial of an Ennis woman accused of dousing her father, along with a young mother and her baby with petrol is expected to conclude today.

Majella McCarthy from the Galway Road denies a total of three counts of assault causing harm at Spanish Point Road in Miltown Malbay on the 4th of March last.

Yesterday the court heard from one of the alleged victims who described the accused opening the back door of her car and pouring petrol over her 18 month old baby girl.

The jury was also told that Ms McCarthy had a long history of psychiatric problems and was admitted to the psychiatric unit of Ennis General Hospital on two occasions.
