Men agree to keep the peace after filling station row

TWO men have sworn to keep the peace after being charged with Public Order offences at the Spar on the Bundoran Road last year.

Kyle O’Mahony (26) and James Mitchell (52) gave undertakings on oath to stay away from each other and their respective families.

O’Mahony, of The Woodlands, Ballytivnan, was charged with threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour under Section 6 of the Public Order Act and with producing an article in the course of a dispute at Mullen’s Spar, Bundoran Road on 4 th April 2017.

Mitchell, of St John’s Terrace, was also charged under Section 6 of the Public Order Act during the same incident.

The court heard the incident arose out of “words spoken” by both parties at the filling station.

Solicitor for Kyle O’Mahony, Mr Mark Mullaney, told the court that both accused were agreeable to staying away from each other.

The court heard Mitchell has a previous conviction for a similar incident.

Inspector Donal Sweeney said he had no objection if both men gave an undertaking to keep the peace and the case was put back for monitoring.

O’Mahony then took the witness stand and agreed on oath to stay away from Mitchell and his family.

Inspector Sweeney asked O’Mahony what would happen if he met Mitchell at the filling station next week. “I’ ll get into my car and drive away,” replied O’Mahony.

James Mitchell then took the stand and apologised to Kyle O’Mahony and gave an undertaking to stay away from both him and his mother, Mrs O’Mahony Snr.

Judge Kevin Kilrane adjourned the case to 4 th October 2018 and said if there were no further incidents he would strike out the charges.
