Dylan Greene (30) of 87 Springlawn, Longford pleaded guilty to the public order offence on October 5 last shortly after 10am
Sgt Enda Daly said the defendant entered the public office in a confrontational manner.

"He was screaming and shouting and aggressively stomping around throwing his arms in the air," he added.

Sgt Daly said the "very uncooperative" defendant was arrested and later charged.

The court heard Mr Greene received a three and a half year prison sentence, which was suspended for five years in October, 2023, which can now be reactivated.

Solicitor John Quinn said his client was in a 'bad place' at the time and he accepts he was in the wrong and he is very apologetic.
