“I am not going to direct that people stay at the same table if they can’t stay at the same table - it is really unfortunate,” the judge said
A judge has ruled in a Confirmation celebration row between estranged parents that their children have their main course with their mother and then have their dessert with their father in post-Confirmation celebration meals in different rooms at a hotel.

Judge Comerford said that he could see the sense of the children having their meal with their parents for the Confirmation celebration “and it would be a good thing if it happened”.
Ms Doyle was bringing the matter before court as the two sides in correspondence could not agree on dinner arrangements for the Confirmation Day outside court during March and April. Ms Doyle said that her client has an application for sole custody for the children currently before Limerick Circuit Court.
Ms Doyle said that her client contacted the hotel and added six people to the dinner reservation that the wife initially had for the day. Ms Doyle said that her client went back to the hotel “and it transpires that those six people had been taken off that table by some third party”. Mr O’Hanrahan said that his client has no difficulty with her ex-husband if he wants to invite guests and pay for their meal at the hotel.
