PUNCHES to the side of a van caused €1,089 worth of damage, Tullamore District Court was told.
But because the van was a 16-year-old vehicle and was disposed of a week after it was damaged by a man at Heffernan s filling station, O Moore Street, Tullamore, €400 in compensation was accepted by the owner.
Dermot Ward, 29, Bay 4 Kilcruttin Halting Site, Tullamore, pleaded guilty to damaging Wesley McDonagh s van and breaching the peace on May 11, 2020.
Sergeant James O Sullivan said CCTV showed Mr Ward punching the side of the van three times. The accused had three previous convictions and in 2019 had received an eight-month suspended sentence for affray.
