Shamrock Rovers fans break man’s nose at wake

A family has condemned the behaviour of some Shamrock Rovers fans who they say left a mourner at their mother’s wake with a broken nose following an unprovoked assault.

Paul McGee, 37, was with his wife Dara at the wake of her grandmother Maura Coleman, 77, when he says he was struck in the face with a beer can.

“My nose is broken, I have had six stitches to my face and the doctors think my eye socket is fractured,” he said yesterday.
