SEVERAL members of the same family have been sentenced for their roles in a violent brawl which erupted following a “gender reveal party”.
Details of the bizarre incident, which happened at Hyde Road, Prospect, emerged during a sentencing hearing last week.
Detective Garda Eoghan McDonagh told Limerick Circuit Court that members of the extended O’Donoghue family gathered on the afternoon of April 6, 2019 for a party to learn the gender of an unborn child.
The detective said the celebrations “continued into the early hours” and that gardai were alerted to a violent disturbance outside a neighbouring house at around 6am on April 7, 2019.
