Nenagh teenager was observed by gardaí running from scene of fight at Silver Street

A teenager who was seen running away from the scene of a fight at Silver Street, Nenagh, was before Nenagh District Court on two charges of breaching public order.

Sgt Regina McCarthy told the court that gardaí spotted Jamie Donnellan, 18, of 45 St Joseph’s Park, Nenagh, run up a lane and into a car park, away from the scene of the fight, which occurred on September 5, 2021.

He was asked to leave the area, but he started shouting obscenities at the gardaí and refused to comply with the order to move on.

Defending solicitor Johnny Spencer said Mr Donnellan had no previous convictions.

Judge Elizabeth MacGrath adjourned the case to April 14 to see if the defendant would be a suitable candidate to take part in the restorative justice programme.
