Man accused of trespass in Portarlington

A ‘homeless’ man appeared in court accused of public order offences in Portarlington.

Sunpreet Singh (34) with an address at 26 Railway Street, Navan, Co Meath, is accused of trespass and being intoxicated at Shamrock Lodge, Main Street, Portarlington, on May 21, 2026.

Garda David McNamara told a sitting of Portlaoise District Court that he arrested and charged the defendant who made no reply to the charges. He said there was no objection to bail subject to a number of agreed conditions.

Solicitor Josephine Fitzpatrick requested legal aid in the case. “He is currently not working and essentially is homeless,” she said.

Judge Andrew Cody granted legal aid and adjourned the case back to Portlaoise District Court on June 26.
