"Judge Anthony Kennedy was told at a sitting of Mullingar Circuit Court, sitting in Tullamore, Co Offaly, that the riot was sparked because a member of the Nevin family had not paid a debt owed to the Dinnegan family.
Members of the extended families live in Mullingar, with many residing on the Dalton Park estate where the riot took place.
The court heard efforts had been made by a Government-appointed mediator to resolve tensions, but these had failed. The families decided to settle the issue with a 30-minute fight using rocks and weapons including swords, baseball bats and pitchforks."
