A 51-year-old man accused of causing an obstruction by climbing on top of an oil tanker at a fuel protest in Whitegate earlier this month has appeared in court.<\/p>\n
Ivor Sweeney, of Coolbawn Lodge, Baelick Road, Midleton, Co Cork, is facing one charge that on 10 April at Main Street, Whitegate, he did an act, to wit, allow a mechanically propelled vehicle to remain in such a place so long as to cause, or likely to cause, the traffic through such a place to be obstructed contrary to the Road Traffic Act.<\/p>\n
Court presenter Sergeant Linda O’Leary told Judge Colm Roberts at Midleton District Court that evidence of arrest, charge and caution had been given to the court by way of certificate.<\/p>\n
Mr Sweeney’s solicitor Wayne O’Sullivan said his application was for disclosure, which was granted by Judge Roberts.<\/p>\n
Sergeant O’Leary said the State’s applications were to amend Mr Sweeney’s address and to remand him on continuing bail.<\/p>\n
Judge Roberts remanded him on continuing bail to appear again before the District Court on 11 June next for a plea or to set a date for a hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 51-year-old man accused of causing an obstruction by climbing on top of an oil tanker at a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-413577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
