• Man charged over verbal abuse and restraint at Kildare concert Public order offence (two breaches of the Public Order Act) · Co. Kildare

  On April 17, 2022, at about 8.30pm at a concert in County Kildare, Nathan Johnston, 20, was allegedly verbally abusive toward a garda sergeant, calling him a "rat" and a "paedo", and had to be restrained. He was prosecuted at Naas District Court for two breaches of the Public Order Act, and the court heard in April 2023 that he had 14 previous convictions, none under that Act. His defence solicitor said he had lost his temper and was very apologetic. The latest development is that the judge remanded him on continuing bail to July 26 for a probation report on his suitability for community service instead of three months in prison.
