John Joe Nevin pub ban ahead of court date

Olympic silver medallist John Joe Nevin has been barred from every pub in Co Westmeath pending a court case following a brawl outside a bar earlier this week.

Nevin, 25, of 7 St Anthony’s Cottages, Mullingar, was one of five members of his extended family to appear before Mullingar District Court yesterday.

He was charged with being drunk in a public place and with threatening and abusive behaviour.
