Metropole Hotel guest fined for not paying €480 bill

Judge warns accused, who now has two similar convictions, that he faces jail if he commits another offence

The accused charged food and drink to his room during a three-day stay at the Metropole Hotel in Cork.

A hotel guest who stayed three nights and clocked up a further bill for food and drink left without paying any of the €482 he owed.

A call was made from the Metropole Hotel in Cork to An Garda Síochána the day that Ross Meehan, aged 31, of 47 Woodview, Kilmoney Road, Carrigaline, Co Cork,  left without paying.
