One is ashamed to hail from Tipperary.

Banned from every pub in UK - drunk Tipp man

A Tipperary man has been banned from every pub in the United Kingdom for a year after he was found drunk in Windsor Castle, just yards from Queen Elizabeth's private apartments.

Thirty-two-year-old Robert Pennefather from Mullinahone appeared in court yesterday after he was arrested by police in November. He had climbed over an eight-foot gate.

Judge Howard Riddle said he was satisfied that Mr Pennefather posed no risk, but he sentenced him to two weeks in jail and fined him £1,000.

The incident recalled another in 1982, when Michael Fagan sat at the end of the Queen's bed talking to her before police arrived.

Yeah, should've pissed on Lizzy while she slept. What was he thinking?

Cardinal Richelieu · 24-03-2012 02:11PM

Ahh Pennefather a well known Tipp name.

falan · 24-03-2012 02:11PM

He was a long way from Tipperary.

Great to see the Pennefeathers have not been consigned to history. They have been a considerable (positive) influence on both Tipperary and on Irish life for hundreds of years.

However, this is a very alternative way for a Pennefeather come to public attention. I like the outlandish punishment - "a ban on every pub in the United Kingdom". Certainly one of the strangest penalties I've ever heard. I've often heard of Irish judges ordering individuals to stay away from certain towns, but never heard of an outright ban on entering any pub in the land. It seems almost mediaeval.

How very apt as the judge's brother could be Jimmy Riddle.

A post that simultaneously advances and confirms its central proposition.

Means he probably won't want to bother visiting the UK if the pub scene is denied to him :P

How does her majesties police force ensure that this good fellow is not seated on a stool in a bar somewhere in Kilburn high street this morning.

When I frequented such establishments one would never see a policeman anywhere near the vicinity.

Icepick · 24-03-2012 02:41PM

Shame (and pride) based on accident of birth is rather silly.

Have you anything of your own to add to this thread at all or are you just going to post random news stories?

If an unfavorable news story should cause embarrassment to an entire county I dont know how Dublin people can show their faces outside of the pale currently.

24-03-2012 04:11PM

Christ, they must really have to figure out their security now! He got within feet of Her apartments, apparently.

I think the fine was enough, two weeks in prison and banned from every pub in the UK is a bit OTT.
It highlights the poor security at Windsor castle, he was some fool of course to think he would not get caught.

the purple tin · 24-03-2012 04:48PM

Is it even possible to enforce a total UK pub ban?
How can they expect every single barworker in the UK to know that this man is not to be served.

You mean you werent ashamed before?:eek:

Shameful comment John Doe, isn't a bit like the pot calling the kettle black with you being from Donegal and all.:p

Ted_YNWA · 24-03-2012 05:03PM

how does this make me ashamed to be from Tipperary ??

A man from Tipp was arrested and charged for trespass abroad?

No other Irish expat has got in trouble abroad ???

On a side note, what merits his county of note. Cant find articles on Martin Fagan's county of origin listed

A ban from entering licensed premises is not unheard of in Ireland. Quite a common punishment for alcohol related incidents.

Donegal is the most physically beautiful county in Ireland and a bastion of Gaelic culture. Tipperary is a 'Tip':P

Ellis Dee · 24-03-2012 05:15PM

I think the aul Windsor wan is making a bit of a habit of getting a "bit of Irish rough".;) Surely no one believed the official tale that was spun when the servants discovered Michael Fagan in her bedroom all those years ago? Intruder me arse! Pull the other one, Ma'am!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Anyway, a drunken lorry driver is not sufficient reason to be ashamed of being from Tipperary. Nor, indeed, would even Michael Lowry be.:D:D

They don't, its a security thing that if he's caught in a public disorder offence again related to drink and they have evidence that he's been in a bar then they can find him in breach of his previous order as well as a new one and really throw the book at him.

As well as just a general disincentive.

aaronjumper · 24-03-2012 05:19PM

So a random drunk managed to slip past the Queens security?
Maybe she should start hiring a different security team.

I'm only half joking.

The_Kew_Tour · 24-03-2012 05:22PM

Tipp is a ****hole.

not decent place in whole county.

What about Roscrea? Savage place altogether and home of the DEFLEFTHAND.

stupidusername · 24-03-2012 05:42PM

that's where i'm from! Never heard of that name before though. the only effect it'd have on me would be whenever I visit the UK and someone asks where I'm from in Ireland, I may not specify where in Tipp I'm from.

One is ashamed to hail from Tipperary.
