Issue puts Corbett pub case on hold

Evidence in the case against Marlstone Investments, relating to the alleged breach of revenue legislation at Mr Corbett’s Coppinger’s Bar on Parnell Street in Thurles, Co Tipperary, was heard last week at Thurles district court.
The court heard last week that a sample from one of 23 bottles of spirits taken from the pub on January 29, of 2015 was found to be neither vodka nor the Smirnoff vodka it purported to be, and that its Smirnoff labelling was found to be “fake”.
