Publican jailed after shotgun threat to brewery

A publican accused of threatening to return to Heineken’s headquarters in Cork with a shotgun in a commercial row over beer supply will spend the weekend in jail after he refused to give an undertaking to stay away from the premises.

Sergeant Michael Kelleher said there was no garda objection to Anthony Horgan being remanded on bail on his undertaking to stay away from Heineken at Leitrim St, Cork, and from their depot at Little Island.

Horgan, 47, a publican at The Oldmill, Donoughmore, Co Cork, said he could not give the undertaking to stay away.
