• Limerick man pleads guilty to illegal dumping after CCTV shown in court Illegal dumping (littering) · Co. Limerick

  On 17 February 2025, bags of waste and a mattress were removed from a house in Altamira Court, dumped at Quarry Road, Thomondgate, Limerick city, and set on fire. Michael Quilligan, a man from Altamira Court, was charged with illegal dumping and initially pleaded not guilty at Limerick District Court before Judge John King. He changed his plea to guilty after watching CCTV, as reported in September 2025. The case was adjourned until 6 February to allow him to pay €541.50 in costs, after which the Probation Act would apply.

• Court case over unauthorised land use in Croom adjourned Unauthorised use of land · Co. Limerick

  The unauthorised hard standing matter at Ballyphillip, Barrogue, in Croom, Co Limerick, dates back to September 2020, and the incident date is not given. A man, Michael Quilligan, was brought before Kilmallock District Court in April 2024 for unauthorised use of land, and a caravan on the site has since been removed while an area of hard standing remains. He said he was using the hard standing for his horses and could not act further until his architect returned from holiday on 5 May. Judge Patricia Harney adjourned the matter until 21 May after the prosecuting solicitor said there was progress.
