He suffered the black guy and a sore neck in the attack.

He denied acting in an arrogant way on the night, demanding food, but he later apologized for his behavior and he admitted to coaching the two men.

He admitted that he re-entered the confrontation and he said he was used to breaking up fights in his own family pubs

but he agreed that the attack on the night could have been avoided if he didn't get involved.

And Alison Chalk said she initially believed someone made a comment and she felt Mr. Cox and Mr. McHugh were staring and smirking at her and Bill.

She said she took some photos of them on her mobile phone at the Dunraven and she said Bill went over to the two men because she felt frightened.

She said she got involved in the attack because she thought the two men were going to kill Bill, as she put it.

And she said she threw a pint glass

to try to stop the attack.

However, when Gardie showed Alison Chalk the CCTV footage of the attack, she was shocked.

She exclaimed, oh my God.

She said she initially thought she had been defending herself and Bill, but she eventually admitted the assault and she acknowledged also that her kicking

and hitting of the two men and biting also took place.

And she also said she apologised to Gardaí for saying nasty things to them on the night.

And when asked by Gardaí if she felt she was justified in kicking Mr McHugh in the head, she replied no.

Yes, the criminal court heard last Thursday that civil proceedings had been lodged by Mr Cox and Mr McHugh against Bill and Alison Chalk.

And that those matters perhaps coming down the road in the not too distant future.

So Alison and Bill Chalk are facing civil action now by the two victims.

And the court also heard that Bill and Alison Chalk have paid Mr. McCune, Mr. Cox, 5,000 euros each without prejudice to these legal proceedings in the High Court.

Yes, Charlie Chuck, he's been involved in the pub business for pretty much his whole life.
