‘Slaughter House’ pub closed over violence

A pub which a judge said he is aware is known locally as “The Slaughter House” has been closed for five days because of a series of violent incidents.

Judge Seamus Hughes yesterday closed The Stillery on Dominick St, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, after being told a number of incidents had taken place there.

Judge Hughes warned publican Derek Martin that there would be further closures if he did not get his house in order.
