Pub refused late licences over CCTV disc delay

ONE of Limerick’s best-known pubs was yesterday refused a number of late-night exemptions over a delay in getting a CCTV disc to gardaí who were investigating reports of an assault.

When the CCTV disc was handed over three months later, it contained material from Molly Malone’s in Ellen Street which the gardaí were looking for.

Publican Greg Meaney told the court he handed in the CCTV material sought by the gardaí two days after they called following an incident. The businessman said he was informed that the tapes were defective and said the CCTV might not be compatible with the Garda system.
