• Cork woman jailed for public order offences at Bandon hotel Public order offence (offensive conduct; failing to comply with a Garda direction) · Co. Cork

  Margaret Buttimer, a 68-year-old woman, was charged with offensive conduct and failing to comply with a Garda direction after Gardaí attended the Munster Arms Hotel in Bandon, Co Cork, on 26 January 2022 following reports of a disturbance. She pleaded not guilty at Bandon District Court, and Judge James McNulty found both charges proven. On 2 March 2023 she was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, with half suspended on conditions that include staying away from the hotel and other facilities housing Ukrainian refugees or asylum seekers.

• 68-year-old woman convicted of public order offences in Bandon Public order (offensive conduct; failing to comply with a Garda direction) · Co. Cork

  Margaret Buttimer, a 68-year-old Irish woman of no fixed abode, was found guilty of four public order offences at Bandon District Court on 5 January 2023 after repeatedly demanding a room at the Munster Arms Hotel in Bandon and questioning why Ukrainian refugees were accommodated while she was not. The three incidents occurred on 19 and 21 December 2022, during which she was arrested and charged with six offences under the Public Order Act. Judge James McNulty dismissed two of the six charges and deferred the penalty, ordering a Probation Service report. She was remanded to Limerick Prison, where she had already spent Christmas, and was ordered to stay away from the hotel.

  Margaret Buttimer, a 66-year-old woman from Bandon, Co Cork, was arrested on 6 December 2021 after entering Dunnes Stores in Clonakilty without a face mask and refusing to wear one or leave when approached by security staff. She was on bail with conditions requiring her to stay away from shops, which she had breached, and this was her seventh conviction for a mask-wearing offence. She was remanded in custody at Bandon District Court and later sentenced by Judge Colm Roberts to 30 days in prison, with the last 10 days suspended and the sentence backdated to 6 December, meaning she would effectively serve six days.
