"THE PITCHED battle between rival Traveller factions witnessed on a local authority housing estate in Mullingar, Co Westmeath, arose because a bet on a bare knuckle boxing match went unpaid.
The debt owed by the Nevins to the Dinnegans led to growing tensions between the extended families, both of whom are based in Mullingar. The Dinnegans called in the Quinn-McDonaghs from Finglas, Dublin, for back-up.
The opposing factions gathered in two groups on the afternoon of July 29th, 2008, on the Dalton Park estate, where many of the opposing Dinnegan and Nevin families reside."
