Galwayman abused Queen during naked cinema rant :/

[Golden_Boy™]

A Galwayman had to be removed from a local cinema after he removed all his clothes and shouted abuse at Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren as the film The Queen was being shown, a local court was told this week.
Seanin Beag MacTuama, from North Connemara was charged with lewd and indecent behaviour, with indecent exposure, with breaching the peace and also became the first person since the foundation of the State to be charged with an offence under the Mirth Against The Monarch Act of 1637.
Sergeant Gerry Sexton told the court that he and a colleague were called to the city cinema after reports of the disturbance last week.
“The gentleman was sitting at the front of the cinema and was laughing to himself. Eveytime, Ms Mirren appeared on the screen, he kept saying ‘Jaysus, she’s gorgeous. I would ya know, would you.’
The court heard that Mac Tuama, who is unemployed and in receipt of benefit continuously laughed throughout the more sombre bits of the movie.
Witnesses said that during the scene in the movie when news of Diana’s death was being broken to princes William and Harry, MacTuama stood up and said “I bet they’ll say ‘Dad, who’s taking the hearse to France’ — a reference to a famous Irish Kerrygold butter TV ad in which a character says “Dad, who’s taking the horse to France.”
“This upset many people who were there and who were fond of Diana,” said Sgt Sexton, adding that he wasn’t bothered either way by it, but that his wife would be “into that sort of thing.’
Solicitor for Mr MacTuama, Ciaran Tuohy said that his client claimed he was a direct descendant of the medieval Irish sea queen Grace O’Malley aka Granuaile and therefore had “an issue” with Queen Elizabeth the First and consequently Helen Mirren who played QE1 in a BBC programme.
He said that he had become confused when Mirren appeared on screen as Queen Elizabeth the Second and it was at this stage that he ranted that he was ‘the victim of a Royalist plot.’
He later removed all his clothes and danced a reel in the aisle of the cinema.
He was fined €150 for indecent exposure, €150 for lewd and indecent behaviour and half a crown for the offence under the Mirth Against The Monarch Act.

A man who was found dressed in latex and handcuffs brought a donkey to his room in a Galway city centre hotel, because he was advised “to get out and meet people,” the local court heard last week.
Thomas Aloysius McCarney with an address in south Galway was charged with cruelty to animals, lewd and obscene behaviour, and with being a danger to himself when he appeared before the court on Friday. He was also charged with damage to a mini-bar in the room, but this charge was later dropped when the defendant said that it was the donkey who caused that damage.
Solicitor for the accused Ms Sharon Fitzhenry said that her client had been through a difficult time lately and that his wife had left him and that his life had become increasingly lonely.
“Mr McCarney has been attending counselling at which he was told that he would be advised to get out and meet people and do interesting things. It was this advice that saw him book into the city centre hotel with a donkey,” she said. She added that Mr McCarney also suffered from a fixation with the Shrek movies and could constantly be heard at work talking to himself saying things like “Isn’t that right, Donkey?”
Supt John McBrearty told the court that Mr McCarney who had signed in as “ Mr Shrek” had told hotel staff that the donkey was a family pet and that this was believed by the hotel receptionist who the supt said was “young and hadn’t great English.”
Receptionist Irina Legova said that Mr McCarney had told her that the donkey was a breed of “super rabbit” which he was bringing to a pet fair in the city. The court was told that the donkey went berserk in the middle of the night and ran amok in the hotel corridor, forcing hotel staff to call the gardai.
McCarney was found in the room wearing a latex suit and handcuffs, the key to which the donkey is believed to have swallowed. He was removed to Mill St station after which it is said he was the subject of much mirth among the lads next door in The Galway Arms.
He was fined €2,000 for bringing the donkey to the room under the Unlawful Accommodation of Donkeys Act 1837. Other charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.
