Judge bans mother of 10 from every pub in Clare town

A judge has banned a 42-year-old mother of 10 from every pub in the north Clare town of Ennistymon for 12 months.

Judge Patrick Durcan imposed the ban after Kathleen Donovan of Clancy Park, Ennis, pleaded guilty to the assault of Michelle Garrihy in McInerney’s pub in Ennistymon, Co Clare, on October 31, 2016.

Judge Durcan said that Ms Donovan had engaged in “appalling behaviour” when assaulting Michelle Garrihy from Ennistymon that resulted in the mother of three being hospitalised.
