Case No. 19984Criminal damage · Co. Dublin · 17 Dec 2004

Near 20-year-old criminal damage charge struck out in Longford court

On 17 December 2004 in Westmoreland Street, Dublin, Yasir Mansoor, whose charge sheet address was Tempe Place, Green Valley Street, Dublin 1, was charged with damaging the window of O'Sullivan's Bar. A bench warrant for the charge was not executed for 18 years. Mansoor was brought before Judge Patricia Cronin at Longford District Court, where Sergeant Mark Mahon accepted there was no justification for the non-execution of the warrant. The judge then struck the matter out because there was too much delay in dealing with a charge issued so long ago.
