Woman spat at Penneys staff after becoming ‘abusive and very threatening', court told
Sgt Enda Daly, in presenting the State's case, said Kathleen Delaney suddenly became 'abusive and very threatening' towards security and the manager of Penneys. Kathleen Delaney was ordered to engage with probation services for the purposes of a restorative justice report. Kathleen Delaney spat at both the manager and security personnel of Penneys in Longford town after becoming "abusive and very threatening", a court was told. A woman who was in the grip of a 'chaotic lifestyle' spat at the manager and security guard of a midlands based department store after becoming "abusive and very threatening' towards its staff, a court has heard. Kathleen Delaney, of Midland Court, Longford appeared at a sitting of Longford District Court where she pleaded guilty to assault and using threatening or insulting behaviour during an incident at Penneys, Longford Centre, Longford on August 15, 2022. Delaney, the court heard, had been in the vicinity of the midlands town's shopping centre shortly before midday when a verbal exchange between the accused and staff unfolded. Kathleen Delaney spat at both the manager and security personnel of Penneys in Longford town after becoming "abusive and very threatening", a court was told. Sgt Enda Daly, in presenting the State's case, said the 46-year-old suddenly became 'abusive and very threatening' towards security and the manager of Penneys. He said that altercation resulted in the accused spitting at a member of the store's security personnel and its manager in an episode which later led to Delaney being issued with an assault summons alongside an accompanying one for public order. Judge Deirdre Gearty was told the accused did have a number previous convictions, however they were of an 'historical' nature that dated back to 1997. Kathleen Delaney outside Longford Courthouse. News in 90 Seconds - 7th June Bríd Mimnagh, defending, said Delaney was someone who had been toiling under a 'chaotic lifestyle', challenges which had been more recently exacerbated by a number of bereavements of close family members. 'She just was in a chaotic lifestyle,' said Ms Mimnagh. 'She is doing really well and working full time now.' Ms Mimnagh added how her client had managed to turn her life around by steering clear of any garda attention for a 'considerable length of time'. Kathleen Delaney was ordered to engage with probation services for the purposes of a restorative justice report. In delivering her verdict, Judge Gearty said the case was one which merited Delaney engaging with probation in an attempt to understand the error of her ways by also perhaps reaching out to her male victim or by making a donation to charity. 'Restorative justice is one of the buzz words that's floating around at the minute and it strikes me that this is a situation that if (she) is apologetic for what she has done she could write him a letter (or) she could make a donation to the charity of his choice,' she said. Delaney was remanded on bail to appear back before a sitting of Longford District Court on September 2 for the preparation of a restorative justice report.

Drug criminal who once escaped jail fights CAB bid to empty bank account
The money was declared the proceeds of crime 11 years ago in case which McInerney had contested. A notorious criminal who once escaped from prison during a hospital visit said that he can't find a solicitor to fight his case against the Criminal Assets Bureau. Charles Darren McInerney from Portlaoise appeared at the High Court where Cab have applied to have €139,156 in a frozen bank account transferred to the State. It was previously heard he had asked to brought to court from the Midlands Prison to contest the move by CAB. Arriving in court with a prison escort he told the sitting judge that his own solicitor doesn't 'do these cases.' The money, which was originally in three separate accounts, was declared the proceeds of crime 11 years ago in case which McInerney had contested. The judge at that time dismissed McInerney's claims as to how the cash was generated as being 'quite unconvincing indeed.' He had denied being involved in crime and initially insisted his only income was from social welfare during the six years CAB found €519,702 had been lodged to his and his wife Margaret's bank account. Another €15,000 in a credit union account he said had come from the sale of a car although no vehicle had been registered to his name. In second affidavit, he said money came from horse breeding and dealing in cars, but these were ruled inadmissible when he failed to appear in court. McInerney said he had been left six horses by his late grandfather when he was 15 years of age. He claimed that from his inheritance he successfully bred horses which he sold 'at various fairs around the country'. Charles Darren McInerney News in 90 Seconds - 7th June Following on from that trade he said he moved into the car trade business and the money in the accounts was income from those businesses, he claimed. The judge said evidence was given by both CAB and senior gardai that McInerney was involved in the illegal drugs trade. He had 27 previous convictions including ones for the possession of illegal drugs as well as assault and animal cruelty. Evidence was given that gardai had found cannabis, a weighing scales and a knife in McInerney's house. He was involved in the sale and supply of controlled substances and the enforcement of debts, according to CAB. There was no evidence of income from any legitimate sources and neither he nor his wife had ever been employed, it was stated. An appeal was lodged with the Supreme Court over the receivership order, but is was withdrawn in 2015 and no appeal made against the order declaring the cash to be the proceeds of crime. Darren McInerney did a runner from custody in 2018 after being brought from the high-security Portlaoise Prison to the nearby regional hospital. The Sunday World previously reported that he had been transferred to the jail from the Midlands prison after an alleged assault on a prison officer. He remained unlawfully at large for a period of time sparking a garda appeal for information. The career criminal once got a five-month suspended sentence in October, 2010, for the ill treatment of animals. He was also ordered not to have ownership of animals at that time, yet despite the order he was later spotted by gardaí on a sulky on at least five occasions including racing while he had a child sitting on his lap. The Cab case has been adjourned until later this month.
