Intoxicated man prosecuted over public order breach at Mondello Park truck show

A man, Iain Trainor, aged 55, was prosecuted for a breach of the Public Order Act over an incident on October 30, 2023, at the Mondello Park truck show in Kildare, where the court heard he was causing a nuisance while drunk and could not find his truck. His address was given as Craigavon, Northern Ireland, and he was prosecuted at Naas District Court. The court heard he was detained for his own safety, and his solicitor, David Powderly, said he was apologetic and willing to make a charitable donation. The latest reported development, on January 11, 2024, is that the judge adjourned the matter for a charitable donation to be made, with the Probation Act to apply if it is made.
