Five begin appeal over violent disorder jail terms

Five Limerick men who were involved in a pitched battle in the city today began their appeal against their jail sentences.

The battle outside Supermacs fast food restaurant on the Ennis road three years ago took place at the height of the city’s bloody gangland feud and involved makeshift weapons such as baby high chairs and wet-floor signs from the restaurant as well as snooker cues, a golf club and a steering lock.
