The pub company of former Tipperary hurling star Lar Corbett has been fined €1,500 and ordered to close for two days after being convicted of a breach of Revenue legislation. The conviction was imposed at Thurles District Court yesterday in relation to 23 bottles of counterfeit vodka seized at Corbett’s bar, Coppinger’s, in Thurles.
