• Man sentenced over counterfeit meat labels at Dundalk Circuit Court False instrument offences (counterfeit meat labels) · Co. Louth

  On 20 April 2017, counterfeit labels purporting to be from well-known meat processors were found at Arcross Foods, Rock Road, Blackrock, Louth, during a follow-up inspection after a routine visit by a Louth County Council Veterinary Officer and Food Safety Authority of Ireland officials. Martin McCreesh (58) of Dromore, Castleblayney, was originally prosecuted for 20 offences. At Dundalk Circuit Court, reported on 27 April 2023, he was sentenced for three offences, including custody of a false instrument, and ordered to complete 150 hours of unpaid community work within 18 months instead of a 15-month sentence. The judge said the guilty pleas were valued by the State, though not entered early, and the Probation Service assessed him as low risk of reoffending.
