Dr Anne McCloskey jailed over Covid fine

A candidate in the upcoming Westminster elections has been jailed after refusing to pay a fine.

Dr Anne McCloskey, 67, appeared at Londonderry Magistrates’ Court in connection with an unpaid Covid fine of £255.

She was given an immediate warrant to pay the amount or go to prison for 14 days.

Dr McCloskey, of Chapel Road in Derry, is running as an independent in Foyle in the UK general election.

The fine was imposed in 2022 for a breach of Covid regulations.

The NI Court Service confirmed Dr McCloskey had been sent to Hydebank Wood Prison.
