Warring brothers told parents ‘would be turning in their graves’

A judge has told two warring brothers that their deceased parents “would be turning in their graves” if they knew the two of them were in court.

At Kilrush District Court, Judge Patrick Durcan told Daniel Hayes, 60, and Michael Hayes, 64, both of Carnanes, Kilrush that “whatever graveyard they are in, your parents would be turning in their graves if they realised the two of ye were in here today involved in this kind of behaviour”.

Judge Durcan told the Hayes brothers that “one of ye is as bad as the next” after hearing from Garda Niall Donegan who said that there is “ongoing friction between the two brothers”.
