Limerick man faces nine arrest warrants for failing to attend court

Joseph Power, of Cree, Athlacca, County Limerick, faced nine arrest warrants for failing to attend court, eight issued since last September and one dating to 2018. At Kilmallock District Court, his solicitor said he was too sick to attend and produced a GP's letter about his health difficulties, and Judge Patricia Harney said she was very concerned about the alleged offences and his repeated failure to attend. The case was adjourned to April 18 on a €100 bail bond with conditions including signing on at Bruff Garda Station three times a week and an 11pm to 8am curfew, and the judge warned that failure to meet them could make bail harder to obtain next time. The hearing was reported on April 16, 2024.
