Clubs ‘breached spirit’ of judge’s price order

The judge who ordered a €2.50 drinks price minimum in three seaside resort clubs has been told one breached the spirit of his ruling by not charging for mixers with shorts.

Garda Superintendent Leo McGinn told Judge Kevin Kilrane there was an attempt to circumvent what he believed was the “spin” of the order.

The issue was called again at Donegal District Court yesterday to establish whether the Bundoran clubs complied with the order made on Friday.
