Nope, this isn’t a joke. David Lee (30) has been banned from every single pub in Dublin city after fleeing into a bar lounge to avoid Gardaí.
Lee struck a guard over the head with an object he picked up from a table after he chased him into the pub. The judge at Swords District Court decided the most fitting punishment was to ban Lee from ALL pubs in Dublin for 12 months and a four-month sentence suspended for one year.
Pretty unique punishment but we’re not sure how well it will be enforced…

Speaking to TG4, Cowen said his his party didn’t believe those who warned them of the danger of collapse and that his government did not have a ‘Plan B’ in place. Cowen stated that he still stands by his decision to provide guarantee to failing Irish banks.
He also said it was “very regrettable” that ordinary people were carrying the burden of the crisis and admitted that he has a serious duty to accept responsibility for that.
The Junior Transport Minister has said Cowen’s claims are “bizzare”. The full interview will be aired on September 5th on TG4.
