    Court report with the sentence. The article gives the incident date only as "July 9 last", so the year 2023 is inferred from the article date. The article names the accused as Ronan Ryan but later refers to "Mr Gilmartin" (the ticket and the solicitor's client), and this record follows the charge and the name in the court report.
