• Man accused of Mountmellick burglary and garda station damage adjourned Burglary · Co. Laois

  Hugh Nevin, reported as 27 in one article and 28 in another, is accused of burgling a house on Wolfe Tone Street, Mountmellick, Co Laois, on 24 April 2026, and of damaging Mountmellick Garda Station the same night. It is alleged he took a hammer from the house and used it to smash three windows at the station, including the glass pane of the front door. He appeared before Portlaoise District Court, where Judge Andrew Cody remanded him on bail and adjourned the case to 20 July for submissions on jurisdiction. The DPP then directed summary disposal, the judge accepted jurisdiction, and a solicitor said he could not make representations because of a legal aid dispute. The latest development is an adjournment to Portlaoise District Court on 12 October for a plea or hearing date.
