No jail for breaking man’s nose after bar dispute

One word followed another at a pub in Cork City until a man punched the other in the face, breaking his nose.

Kevin Lawlor, aged 21, pleaded guilty yesterday at Cork District Court to a charge of assault causing harm to Michael Noonan, aged 29, on December 27, 2015, at the Grafton Bar, Oliver Plunkett St.

Lawlor brought €1,000 compensation to court for the victim.
