The court had heard that McGrath had called to the former Muintir na Tire presidents house in December 2009.
He had a fake photo of Martin Quinn with a semi-naked young female.
An 18 month suspended prison sentence was imposed yesterday while an offer of €3,000 compensation was declined by Mr Quinn.
