GAA star ordered to spend 80 hours coaching children

Connolly, aged 26, had earlier pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Anthony Kelly — who suffered a fractured eye-socket — at McGowan’s public house in Phibsboro, Dublin, in the early hours of August 6, 2012.
An unreserved apology, which was accepted by Mr Kelly, had been issued by Connolly’s lawyer during a hearing at Dublin District Court last year.
