Brothers wreck pub,90k bill in Damages....WTF??

Seven brothers were among a group of people who violently took over a pub and caused €90,000 of damage in a scene like a battle zone, a court heard yesterday.
After over an hour, the pub in Balbriggan, Co Dublin had to be recaptured by a garda riot squad. The men are to be sentenced later this month at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
Martin (41), David (37), Brian (31), Christopher (27), Paul (26), William (25) and Stephen (24) Lawrence all pleaded guilty to violent disorder at John D's Pub, Dublin Road, Balbriggan, on Monday, May 4, 2009.
The Lawrence brothers comprised four Balbriggan men: David, of Gardiners Hill; Paul, of Hamilton Terrace; William, of Milara Court; and Stephen, of Pinewood Green Road; along with Martin, of the Dunes, Enniscrone, Co Sligo; Brian, of Talbot Hall, Applewood, Swords, Co Dublin; and Christopher, of Mourne Park, Skerries, Co Dublin. Sergeant Liam Donahue told Garrett Baker, prosecuting, that the pub had been under the control of the group for about an hour-and-three -quarters before being reclaimed by force by the garda public order unit.
Damage
The damage to the pub cost €90,000 to be repaired. He said William Roe had taken the lease on the pub 11 months beforehand and spent about €45,000 decorating and fireproofing it.
He told gardai the scene inside the pub was "similar to a battle zone" after the incident.
Sgt Donahue said there were no physical injuries caused but William and Sinead Roe are unemployed as a result.
Televisions, furniture, beer pumps, shelves and plaster work were smashed and 103 panes of glass had to be refitted. A snooker table was pushed up against a back door to prevent gardai gaining access.
Mr Roe told gardai the Lawrence family had been in the pub since afternoon and drank around five pints each.
Sgt Donahue said Mr Roe received a phone call from a member of staff at about 6.30pm that day to say that David Lawrence, who was barred from the pub, had been refused a drink.
Mr Roe said he would come down to the pub and on his way met a garda and told him of the situation. Mr Roe waited outside while the garda went inside. He heard furniture being smashed and people calling out: "Travellers' rights."
A barman working in the pub said that, when David arrived in the pub, he was aware he had been barred. Mr Roe's niece, Rachael McDonagh, heard him say: "F**k Willie and f**k his bar, I am the barman now".
David Lawrence was observed on CCTV behind the bar helping himself to drinks.
Sinead Roe said she told David to get out from behind the bar and he threw a bottle which smashed against a wall.
Gardai retreated until the public order unit arrived at 8.20 pm and while they attempted to gain entry David sprayed a fire extinguisher out through a broken window. They successfully reclaimed the pub at 8.45pm.
Defence counsel for the seven men expressed remorse and brought to court sums of money as compensation which totalled approximately €9,000. The men had entered guilty pleas and counsel asked the court to show what leniency it could.
