Limerick hurler Kyle Hayes has been given a two-year suspended prison sentence after being convicted last December of two counts of violent disorder.
The 25-year-old has also been told to pay €10,000 in compensation to a man who suffered serious facial injuries during incidents inside and outside a Limerick nightclub in 2019.
He was found guilty last December by a jury of the two counts of violent disorder, but not guilty of the assault. During the trial last year, Mr McCarthy said Hayes approached him and his friend, Craig Cosgrave, in the bar and warned them to"stay the f*** away" from the two females, became aggressive and shouted"do you know who the f*** I am".
He said he ran away from gardaí on the night because they started roaring at him, having picked him out because they knew his face.
