€600 fine for parking van and trailer on footpath

A man who parked his transit van on a footpath was fined at last week’s district court.

In his evidence Garda Jude Doyle said James Mongan, 149, Church Hill, Tullamore, had parked his vehicle which also had a trailer attached on the footpath at Church Street, Tullamore, and it caused quite an obstruction on October 22, 2021.

Mr Mongan had a previous conviction dating back to 2018 when he failed to yield at a junction and for non display of tax.

Judge Andrew Cody fined him €600.
