By Brídín Ní Fhearraigh-Joyce, Limerick Leader

Christopher Galvin, 38, with an address at Clare Street, St Patrick’s Hostel, Limerick city, was walking on the side of the road in dark clothing at night in the Castleconnell area on August 25, 2025

A MAN whose level of intoxication made him “a danger to himself and others” has been brought before Limerick District Court.

When gardaí came upon him, he was “heavily intoxicated”, “slurring his words”, and a “danger to himself and others”.

Solicitor Tom Kiely said that the man is currently serving a four month custodial sentence for a road traffic matter, and asked the judge to be lenient in her sentencing.

Judge Harney convicted and fined the man €200.
