Man awarded €5k over row about seating at wedding

A row over seating at a wedding resulted in a civil court award of more than €5,000.

The civil case was heard by Judge Sean O'Donnabhain this week in Clonakilty, where plaintiff, Myles McSwiney, said he had attended a family wedding with his wife at the Dunmore House Hotel on August 12, 2016. After the meal had finished they both sat at a table as the area was being cleared for dancing.
