Man fined after attack

A man who attacked a woman after putting his hand up her skirt and touching her after a party for his grandson’s first communion has been fined €1,000.

Shaun Coyle, 66, attacked Olive Allen as they were socialising in a Co Donegal bar. Ms Allen had been having a drink with her boyfriend when Coyle approached the couple in a drunken state in the Carraig Inn in Carrigans. Coyle initially slapped Ms Allen in the back and said he could have both of them shot dead.

They made friends later and he bought Ms Allen and her boyfriend Robert Cole a drink.
