'Judge Patrick Durcan made the comment about 47-year-old Christina Dowie after finding her guilty of making a false report of rape in two phone calls to the emergency services on March 18 last year.
Describing her actions on the night “reprehensible” Judge Duncan gave Ms Dowie a suspended six month jail term.
She made the calls in order for Irish police to give a lift back to her home in Shannon, Ireland from Sixmilebridge – five miles away, the Irish Mirror reports.
The judge said: “All she wanted was to use the Garda as a cheap mode of transport.”
Ms Dowie – who had been drinking to celebrate St Patrick’s Day – made two false rape claims in calls to emergency services.'

Suspended Sentence?
Then again, this is Ireland, which is a stone's throw away from the UK, so I'm not surprised. The UK is in love with letting women get off scot-free for everything.
