€200 donated to Turkey earthquake for public order at Lough Rynn Hotel, Mohill

Ryan Brady with an address at Luton, England was ordered to pay €200 to charity and was given the benefit of the Probation Act 1.1 by Judge Sandra Murphy for intoxication and public order offences at Lough Rynn Castle Hotel, Mohill on February 12, 2023.

The court heard gardai were called to a verbal argument outside the hotel on the above date.

The defendant was aggressive and abusive and “his father was holding him back.”

He was told to go to bed, he re-entered the hotel and ran towards the car and verbally abused staff. He was not allowed to stay in the hotel and Gardai arrested him.

Solicitor Marin Bourke explained his client was attending a family wedding. He pleaded guilty to the offences and had the court heard he had no previous convictions.

Mr Bourke outlined that the 21-year-old was off alcohol at the time as he was taking medication for his mental health, however he was persuaded to drink and “it went too far.”

Mr Brady who flew over from Luton to meet the case with his father apologised for his behaviour and admitted “it was not acceptable behaviour.”

He also said “it will not be happening again.” He told the court he is currently off work due to mental health reasons.

Judge Sandra Murphy said she felt this was a “once off” and ordered the €200 to be sent to the Emergency Turkey and Syria appeal by Unicef. Sargent Lisa Sewell agreed this was a good charity to send the money too as they are in urgent need of funds to help survivors of the earthquake.
