Rosenstock fan gets €4.5k for defamation

A Mario Rosenstock fan has been awarded €4,500 compensation in a defamation action arising out of being asked by security for his ticket halfway through a gig at the Marquee in Cork.

Anthony Kenneally, of 27 Meadow Avenue, The Meadows, Hollyhill, Cork, was at the gig on July 12 2014. Yesterday, Judge James O’Donohoe assessed damages at €7,500.

The judge reduced the award by 40% because he said Mr Kenneally inflamed the situation by his actions on the night.
