Waterford artist became abusive to staff at Co Tipperary hotel
Sgt Carol O'Leary told Judge Brian O'Shea that gardaí were contacted by Cahir House Hotel in relation to a man who was intoxicated, and abusive to staff, on April 4 this year.
Michael Mulcahy, who gave an address of Aughnacurraveel, Ballycurrane, Clashmore, Waterford, pleaded guilty to a public order offence at the Square, Cahir, Tipperary. He has 10 previous convictions, including three for public order offences.
Mr Mulcahy told Judge O'Shea that he is an artist and had an exhibition in Cahir. He said he drank 'too much white wine' on the day. He must have had a good exhibition, commented the judge. It was nearly a sell-out, but there are a couple still left, replied Mr Mulcahy.
Judge O'Shea said that if Mr Mulcahy paid €200 to the court poor box, he would deal with the matter by way of the Probation Act, meaning that a criminal conviction would not be recorded.
