Thankfully nobody was killed or seriously injured in this incident, but six people were arrested. Interestingly enough there is a discrepancy between the version of events after the trouble given by Local county councillor Michael Colreavy and the Publican.

No mention of the incident or the involvement of the two members on the Sinn Féin Website.
