Pub owner fined after Irish 'nuns' are caught drinking illegally

An Irish publican has been prosecuted after police found dozens of "nuns" drinking illegally, several hours past closing time on his premises.

Christy Walsh, who runs the bar in Listowel, County Kerry, has been fined a total of 700 euros (£605) after his pub was raided twice in one night.

He had helped to organise a charity event in the town last July, in which hundreds of people dressed up as nuns.

Mr Walsh said he was "disappointed" but vowed to continue his charity work.

Holy show
The Nunday event took place in Listowel on 30 June 2012, and set a new record for the "largest gathering of people dressed as nuns".

In total, 1,436 adults made a holy show of themselves at a GAA sports ground in the town.

The volunteers donned nuns' outfits and gathered in the field, where they were counted by officials acting on behalf of the Guinness Book of World Records.

Putting on nun's clothing can become a habit.

All pubs should be allowed to open 24/7...

Fuck the wowsers...
