Hayes, of Ballyashea, Kildimo, Co Limerick, was convicted by a jury in December 2019, of one count of violent disorder on the dance-floor of the Icon nightclub, as well as one count of violent disorder outside the nightclub on the same date. Limerick hurling manger John Kiely gave a charachter reference for Hayes at his sentencing hearing, and he asked judge Dermot Sheehan not to jail his star attacking defender. “Every young man deserves a chance,” Mr Kiely told judge Sheehan.
Judge Sheehan suspended Hayes’s two-year sentence provided he not re-offend within a two year period. Last month Hayes was convicted of dangerous driving by judge Colm Roberts at Mallow District Court after he pleaded not guilty to the charge. Garda Deirdre Barrett told the court she had observed Hayes’s 191-registered white coloured Audi A6 overtaking nine other vehicles at high-speed on approach to a section of the road which narrows from two lanes to one lane.
