Tipperary man failed to stop urinating against electricity pole when asked to by garda

A man who was observed urinating in a public place failed to stop when asked by the gardaí, Nenagh District Court was told.

Stephan Clarke of Conicker House, Dromakeenan, Roscrea, pleaded to the offence at Main Street, Roscrea, on May 4, 2022.

The court heard that Mr Clarke was observed urinating against an electricity pole.

He continued to do so even after he was asked to stop, the court heard.

A Fixed Charge Penalty Notice was issued but Mr Clarke failed to pay it, the court heard.

His solicitor, Johnny Spencer, said that his client had tried to pay the penalty last week at Roscrea Garda Station but was out of time.

Judge Elizabeth MacGrath said that if Mr Clarke paid €200 to the court poor box she would strike out the summons.
