The accused is known online for his comedy sketches and lifestyle content, including fitness and mindset videos.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old, who is from Charlesland in Greystones, appeared before Bray District Court for sentencing on Monday.<\/p>\n
The court heard that, on two occasions in February 2024, Mr Nolan used counterfeit \u20ac50 notes to make small purchases at a SuperValu store in Greystones, receiving legitimate change on both occasions.<\/p>\n
A third attempt later that month was unsuccessful after staff became suspicious, leading to his identification through CCTV footage.<\/p>\n
The facts were outlined at a previous sitting of the court in October 2025.<\/p>\n
Mr Nolan addressed the offences in a video posted on social media on October 8 last year, in which he accepted responsibility for his actions, stating: \u201cI hold my hand up to the mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cEvery action has a reaction, and the reason I am making this video is because I have a lot of young followers and I feel I need to address this in the right manner.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Nolan further stated: \u201cI\u2019m not making any excuses for myself or justifying anything that I\u2019ve done, because what I have done is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Monday, a probation report was made available to the court stating that Mr Nolan is not at risk of reoffending.<\/p>\n
Judge David Kennedy told the court that Mr Nolan claimed he had been paid \u20ac400 in counterfeit currency for an advertisement.<\/p>\n
Judge Kennedy remarked: \u201cInstead of reporting the mistake, you decided to impose the loss on a business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Solicitor for the accused, Michael O\u2019Connor, told the court that character references were available.<\/p>\n
In his plea in mitigation, Mr O\u2019Connor said his client has a lot to offer the community through his social media presence.<\/p>\n
Judge Kennedy imposed a three-month prison sentence, suspended in its entirety.<\/p>\n
Mr O\u2019Connor then asked the court whether, if a donation were made, Mr Nolan could be left without a conviction.<\/p>\n
Members of Mr Nolan\u2019s family were present in court and could be heard crying when Judge Kennedy initially handed down the sentence.<\/p>\n
Judge Kennedy ordered that \u20ac2,000 be paid to the court poor box and ruled that Mr Nolan would be left without a conviction.<\/p>\n
