GAA star who broke man's eye-socket in assault ordered to teach kids

A judge has ordered Dublin football star Diarmuid Connolly to spend 80 hours teaching GAA to kids following an unprovoked attack on a man in a pub.

Connolly (aged 26) had pleaded guilty earlier to assault causing harm to Anthony Kelly – who suffered a fractured eye-socket – at McGowan's public house in Phibsboro, in Dublin, in the early hours of August 6, 2012.
