Ireland Man accused of threatening behaviour at Tullamore District Court
Richard Hanlon of Riverview Apartments, Westmeath, was accused of threatening and abusive words and behaviour while intoxicated, calling gardaí offensive names and calling apartment residents offensive names and paedophiles. The reports do not give the incident date. A separate report says his speech was slurred on July 28, 2021. He appeared by appointment at Tullamore District Court the week before the April 18, 2024 report, and his solicitor said he had taken himself in hand and attended Cuan Mhuire. Judge Andrew Cody adjourned the case to June 6 for an updated probation and welfare report, which is the latest development.
