Two mislaid coats in bar led to violent altercation

An allegation that two coats went missing from a bar led to a threat being made to a bar manager and a violent altercation with security staff. The coats were found in the bar later the same night.

Eoin Roche, aged 35, of 2 Cluain Ard, Dunthane Rd, Fermoy, Co Cork, pleaded guilty to four charges relating to the incident that took place at Hamlet’s Bar, Kinsale, on December 21, including for assault.
