AN ENNIS man’s problem with his sister landed him in trouble with the law, a court has heard.
Michael Molloy (38), of 6 St En- da’s Park, Beechpark, Ennis, pleaded guilty to a number of charges arising out of incidents on separate dates.
Inspector Tom Kennedy told Ennis District Court that on January 4 last, the accused was shouting and roaring and kicking at a door of a house, as he had an issue with a sister of his.
On another occasion, he was quite difficult and was arrested as a result of his behaviour. Inspector Kennedy
said that a lot of difficulties arose from alcohol.
On another date, he stole two cases of Budweiser from Dunnes Stores, but these were recovered.
Defending solicitor William Cahir said that his client loses control of him- self when he has consumed alcohol. ‘In the past, he attended with a parish priest and took a pledge,” he said.
The court heard the accused’s issues with his sister have been resolved.
The case was adjourned for prepa- ration of a probation report. “Mr Molloy, you can thank your solicitor J am giving you a chance on this oc- casion,’ said Judge Eamon O’Brien.
