An Irish grandmother has been sent to prison for the holidays for non-compliance with Ireland’s mask mandate.

Not only will the grandmother miss out on celebrating Christmas with her family, she was sentenced to prison for an entire year.

“Margaret Buttimer, a 66-year-old grandmother, will spend this Christmas behind bars after being sentenced to one year in prison for violating Ireland’s mask mandate, with six months of the sentence being suspended,” reported Breitbart News.

Buttimer violated her bail terms by returning to stores to shop for Christmas when she’d been ordered to stay away.

The judge over the case made reference to the grandmother’s “willful disregard of others” and “absurd selfishness.”
