Pub owner fined after Irish 'nuns' are caught drinking illegally in Listowell, Co Kerry
An Irish publican has been prosecuted after police found dozens of "nuns" drinking illegally, several hours past closing time on his premises.
Christy Walsh, who runs the bar in Listowel, County Kerry, has been fined a total of €700 after his pub was raided twice in one night.
He had helped to organise a charity event in the town last year, in which hundreds of people dressed up as nuns.
The Nunday event took place in Listowel on 30 June 2012, and set a new record for the "largest gathering of people dressed as nuns".
In total, 1,436 adults made a holy show of themselves at a GAA sports ground in the town.
The event had raised around €26,000 for charity.
