Irate chip shop owner ‘wielded an iron bar’

A chip shop owner and rate payer in Kenmare, Co Kerry, became so irate with a mobile chip van that was parked outside his door on busy weekend nights last October that he wielded an iron bar, Kenmare District Court heard.

However, Judge James O’Connor refused to convict him, saying that he could understand his frustration.

Ergin Koyun of Main St, Kenmare, had produced an iron bar in the course of a dispute at The Square, Kenmare, on October 5.
