Published 5th Oct 2023, 20:33 GMT
A 34 year old man with 197 previous convictions - including 25 for public order matters, was sentenced to two months at Dundalk district court last week for using threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour.
It happened near the home of Terrance McDonagh with an address at Linenhall Street, Dundalk on March 18th 2021.
The Defence barrister said his client had struggled gravely in respect of a pervasive drug addiction, but while in custody, he had been provided with counselling and "is now 14 months clean".
Judge Eirinn McKiernan heard Mr McDonagh has a current release date in August 2026.
