Galway judge suggests 'good idea' to man accused of repeated offences
He is accused of a number of alleged offences across the course of a month
A judge has suggested to a 40-year-old man accused of repeated public order offences in Galway City that it would be a "good idea" to view CCTV footage of his alleged behaviour.
Philip Kaluwile, with an address at Fairgreen Hostel, Fairgreen, is charged with a number of offences contrary to Section 4 and Section 6 of the Public Order Act.
It is alleged Kauwile was intoxicated to such an extent so as to be a danger to himself or others and that he used or engaged in threatening, abusive and or insulting words or behaviour, in an incident on Shop Street on September 1.
He is also accused of intoxication offences at Fairgreen on August 4 and William Street on September 10.
At Galway District Court, Judge Fiona Lydon asked if CCTV footage from any of the incidents have been shown to the accused.
She told Kaluwile it might be a "good idea" for him to look at the CCTV evidence, if it is available.
Judge Lydon said the court would also like to view the CCTV footage if it is available on the next court date.
Sergeant Damien Prendergast said he would give a précis of the evidence to the accused and will check if CCTV of the incidents is available.
Judge Lydon remanded the accused on bail to appear on October 6.
