In a brief post on social media, a spokesperson for Garda Síochána Waterford/Kilkenny/Carlow said:

“He is going around selling power washers which he described to the lads as ‘rubbish’. Not a great endorsement. It is suggested that his sales techniques could be described as ‘pushy’.”

The incident prompted Gardaí to issue advice to members of the general public.

“Our advice stays as good advice; buy a product or service that you trust from a source that you trust,” the post concluded.

Farmer in court over 91 reactors

Meanwhile, a farmer has appeared in court after failing to comply with a notice to isolate tuberculosis (TB) reactors.

Philip Thomas Gordon (26), with an address at Clay Road, Keady, Co. Armagh, appeared before Armagh Magistrates’ Court on April 4th, 2022.

The judge handed him a fine of £500 and ordered the 26-year-old to pay a £15 offender levy.

The case arose following a cattle identification inspection that officers from DAERA Welfare, and Enforcement Branch conducted.

The court heard that he had not isolated a total of 91 animals, that had previously tested positive for tuberculosis, to prevent the further spread of the disease.
