A customer who took umbrage with the landlord of the above premises with regards to the price of a pint was unsuccessful in his attempt to regain a refund on recently purchased alcohol. 
Richard O Connor, also known as Lichie, of Lake Road in Cobh, was also ordered to pay costs has been limited to four pints of Guinness on any one night.
The order was sought at Ticknock District Court by Michael Buckley, Senior Master Bater, and former close ally of O Connor.  He told the court in an affidavit last February of foul and obnoxious behaviour coming from O Connor at regulare intervals, usually after having paid 5p a pint less in Pillars.  Despite witness revelations to support the O Connor theory, owner Michael Carlos rejected all allegatons and proceded to destroy any and all of the evidence presented. 
Despite the fact that the only thing missing from this court was a kangaroo, a file has been sent to the DPPT and advice has been sought from Cobh's only recognised QC.  This matter has not yet reached it's end.........
