A 33-year old man who punched a woman in the face with his fist after she struck him across the head with a gin-glass in a pub row has escaped a criminal conviction.
At Killaloe District Court sitting in Ennis, solicitor for accused man, Kenneth Nealon, Tara Godfrey, said that what occurred in Flanagan’s restaurant, Ballina, Co Tipperary on June 13th 2021 “was an unmitigated disaster”.
Judge Alec Gabbett said: “The whole scene was a bit unseemly.”
