• Woman disputes name on charge sheet in Portlaoise theft case Theft · Co. Laois

  A woman was charged at Portlaoise District Court with theft of nail sets valued at €12 from the Tesco Extra store on James Fintan Lalor Avenue, Portlaoise. At the sitting, reported on 30 July 2026, she told Judge Andrew Cody that the name on the charge sheet, Joleen Harty, was wrong, and a garda sergeant applied to change it to Joleen Ryan, which the judge allowed. She was remanded on continuing bail to the 20 July sitting and has time to decide whether her case will be heard in the district court or the circuit criminal court.
