Kilgarvan nights of the round table result in court fine

Plenty of people have lost money playing pool — but maybe not on a round table.

Step forward O’Reilly’s Bar in the Co Kerry town of Kilgarvan, where the specially made round pool table — the first of its kind in Ireland — proved so popular with locals that the bar fell foul of the gardaí.

The case was before Kenmare District Court last Friday, when a judge heard the pub is to hold a pool competition using the round table to help pay a fine caused by people staying after hours — to play on the round pool table.
