Man refused service smashed window with bar stool

A 35-year-old man who would not take no for an answer at a city centre pub picked up a stool and smashed a front window of the premises and yesterday he was ordered to pay compensation.

Inspector Bill Duane said Glen Kearney was refused service at The Thomond on Marlboro St, Cork, and he reacted by picking up a stool and striking a window three times with it until the window broke.

Gardaí were called and staff at the premises followed Kearney, of 10 Mount St Joseph’s Avenue, Bakers Road, Gurranabraher, Cork, so that the culprit could be located for gardaí.
