Nenagh man jailed for theft and attempting to use forged prescription

Thomas Mulqueen, 56, of Connolly Street, Nenagh, County Tipperary, pleaded to theft and attempting to use a forged prescription. He was sentenced for theft of goods valued at €602 from Dunnes Stores, Nenagh, on March 31, 2021, and for using a forged prescription at Guerins Chemists, Nenagh, on February 7, 2022. He also pleaded to theft of goods valued at €64.20 from Aldi, Nenagh, on November 6, 2022, and the court heard this could trigger a Section 99 bond from Limerick District Court, where he had 67 previous convictions, including theft. On May 24, 2023, Nenagh District Court jailed him for three months for the Dunnes theft and four months consecutive for the forged prescription, seven months in total, and he was remanded in custody, with his solicitor saying compensation had been fully paid.
