Woman with 17 public drunkenness convictions has ‘issue with alcohol’
Wed, Jun 24, 2026
A woman who appeared before Tuam District Court with 38 previous convictions picked up two more while there, bringing her record to 40.
On top of that, she was remanded back to Ballinasloe District Court on July 2, where it will be decided whether she will serve a three-month suspended sentence imposed on May 28, as the new conviction in Tuam may be a triggering offence.
Sheila Ward, 5 St Brendan’s Court, Loughrea, appeared before before Judge James Faughnan charged with two public order offences. She was charged with one Section 4 offence, which is being drunk in public, and a Section 6 offence, which is disorderly conduct.
