Portlaoise train station
A man accused of being ‘drunk and disorderly’ at Portlaoise Train Station claimed he had been ‘spiked’.
Aaron Kelleher, 22, of 28 Fairview, South Douglas Road, Co Cork is accused of being intoxicated and engaging in threatening or abusive behaviour at Portlaoise Train Station on January 14, 2024.
Judge Andrew Cody outlined the allegation for the defendant who appeared via video link.
He explained it was alleged “you were drunk and disorderly at Portlaoise Train Station on the 14th of January.”
