Two men and a woman, a daughter of one of the men, pleaded guilty to violent disorder on Main Street which saw two Gardai assaulted on December 21, 2020.
Judge Kevin Kilrane heard the three defendants had been drinking at home and then in a public house and got into a row among themselves that continued out onto the street.

A Drumshanbo man who “viciously assaulted” another man by punching him and breaking his nose had “to be dragged kicking and screaming to the point he pleaded guilty” said Judge Kevin Kilrane at Carrick-on-Shannon District Court last week.
Luke Tuite, 15 Hillcrest Grove, Drumshanbo pleaded guilty to a Section 3 assault on Declan Keating at High St, Drumshanbo on March 18, 2019.
The case originally came before the court on November 2, 2020 where full evidence was heard. The case was then adjourned for a psychiatric report and a probation report on the defendant.
In the court last November, Sgt Michael Gallagher outlined the facts. He said the victim in this case had been socialising on St Patrick s Day and at 12.40am on the following morning he phoned his father to collect him.
