Greene dodged multiple stingers while at high speed

A WOMAN who endangered the life of a garda during a high-speed chase that she live-streamed has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Gemma Greene, 28, of Bunratty Road, Coolock, pleaded guilty to recklessly engaging in conduct in such a manner as to drive in the direction of a garda, who was out of his vehicle, forcing him to take evasive measures to stop him from being struck on the M50 motorway at junction 9 Northbound on March 1, 2021.

She also pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving on the same date in the Coolock and Ballymun areas.

Greene has four previous convictions, two of which are for road traffic matters and two for Covid-19 travel.

Passing sentence yesterday, Judge Martin Nolan said: "On the day in question, the defendant was driving and was instructed to stop her car by gardai. She proceeded to drive away around the county of Dublin for one hour at very high speeds".
