Disorderly man told police he could 'say Fenian all I want'
A man who was disorderly in Ahoghill told police: "I can say Fenian all I want", a court has heard.
Andrew Thomas Morgan, with an address listed as Orkney Drive in Ballymena, appeared at the town's Magistrates' Court on Thursday, his 34th birthday.
He appeared a court via video link from prison.
Morgan had been disorderly in Ahoghill on March 1 in 2024 and assaulted a police officer and resisted another officer.
The court was told the defendant had gone to a door in Ahoghill and was "asking a resident out for a fight".
He struggled with police at the door.
A prosecutor told the court: "He was shouting 'I can say Fenian all I want' and other slurs similar to that".
A defence lawyer said the defendant wished to apologise for his behaviour.
Morgan was fined £600. The court heard he is currently a sentenced prisoner.
