A Ballyhaunis man was convicted and fined €300 at Ballyhaunis District Court this week after he pleaded guilty to public order offences.
Bernie McDonagh, 49 The Maples, Ballyhaunis was arrested by Garda John Devane on July 3 2011 at Upper Main Street, Ballyhaunis at 8.30pm after a complaint was made about a man acting in a threatening and abusive way on the street.
