SIX men have pleaded guilty to af- fray, arising out of an incident in the Cloughleigh area of Ennis.
The six, who are members of two families, admitted the offence, at Ennis Circuit Court last Tuesday, re- lating to an incident in Cloughleigh, on October 11, 2007.
The accused are Christy Mongans Senior, Christy Mongans Junior and Jim Mongans, all of Shalee Drive, Ennis; Michael and Thomas Molloy,
of Gordon Drive, Ennis and John Molloy, of Clarehill, Clarecastle.
Counsel for the State, Stephen Coughlan, BL, told the court that the case “is part and parcel of an ongoing difficulty between various families in and around the town of Ennis”’.
He asked for an adjournment of the sentencing until next month. He said that one of the two families, the Mongans, has since moved to Cork and “there is no danger of events re- curring”.
Judge Donagh McDonagh said he
would adjourn the case if the status in place remained “and neither the twain shall meet at any time”.
“If any of you see the other coming in you direction, you turn around the other way,” warned the judge to the SPN te
Mr Coughlan informed the judge that peace has broken out and he re- plied, “I want to ensure peace con- tinues.”
