Mass brawl like a scene from Wild West, says garda

A mass brawl in a pub “was like a scene out of a Wild West movie”, a garda told a court yesterday.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Sgt Mark Murphy said there was “chaos and mayhem” at the Lifford Bar, which has since closed, in Ennis, Co Clare, on Oct 27, 2010.

Sgt Murphy said glasses and bottles were being thrown and that tables and stools were knocked over and being used as weapons.
