Being drunk near city waterways not advisable — Judge
Wed, Feb 11, 2026
Members of the public were so concerned to see a vulnerable man very close to city waterways that the Gardaí were contacted, Judge Valerie Corcoran was told at Galway District Court when the man appeared before her on two public order charges.
The individual, who is in the care of the Simon Community, was found in a drunken state at Dominick Street on February 2 last and Gardaí arrested him for his own safety.
He was again in a drunken state at Wolfe Tone Bridge on February 4, and was again arrested by Gardaí for his own safety.
