A judge yesterday fined three Cork men a total of £2,300 for littering offences.
Judge Michael Patwell fined Damian O'Driscoll £1,300 for two counts of littering and David Deegan and Trevor Mulcahy £500 each for one count of littering in Carrigaline, Co Cork.
O'Driscoll had earlier been convicted of throwing beer cans on the ground at Old Waterpark, Carrigaline, on April 15th and September 22nd last year. Deegan and Mulcahy were each convicted of throwing away beer cans on April 4th, 1998.
At an earlier court sitting Judge Patwell had given all three a chance of doing work with Carrigaline Tidy Towns Committee. But yesterday Sgt Tony Fitzpatrick told a special sitting of Cobh District Court that none of the three had done so.
