• Man remanded again on Offaly criminal damage charge Criminal damage · Co. Offaly

  Jason Bennett (30), of Coolanarney, Blueball, Tullamore, is accused of criminal damage to an apartment at 20 The Granary, Tullamore, on June 16, 2026. The matter first came before Tullamore District Court in June, and on September 11, 2026 Sergeant Brendan Kearns sought a 12-week adjournment for DPP directions, saying there may be a more serious charge. Defence barrister David Nugent BL suggested a six-week adjournment would suffice instead. Judge Andrew Cody remanded Bennett on bail to appear again on December 9, 2026 for DPP directions, an order made peremptory against the State.

  On 25 September 2023, Garda Finbarr O'Leahy stopped Jason Bennett, of Coolanarney, Blueball, Tullamore, in the Midlands, and found that he had no insurance or driving licence. Gardaí also reported a smell of cannabis in the car, a search that found €50 worth of cannabis, and a test showing he was 30 times the legal drug-driving limit. He was charged with speeding, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, drug driving and possession of drugs. In June 2024 the district court sentenced him to fines totalling several hundred euro, with 10-year disqualifications for drug driving and driving without insurance, and took his failure to produce a licence and insurance into consideration.
