GAA star had to be restrained after pub row, court told

Tyrone Gaelic football star Cathal McCarron had to be restrained after getting into a row with staff at a Temple Bar pub, a court has heard.

The 2008 All-Ireland winner — who hit the headlines over a gay porn video and his chronic gambling addiction — appeared at Dublin District Court yesterday.

He pleaded guilty to engaging in threatening, insulting, and abusive behaviour at Anglesea St in Dublin city centre on May 12. The public order offence can result in a conviction, fine, and a three-month sentence.
