Proceedings at Ennis District Court were suspended for a time yesterday following a melee.

The incident began when a defendent, 21-year-old Brian Joyce, took down his pants in front of Judge Patrick Durcan, exposing his backside and genital area.
This came after the Judge had refused bail to the man's younger brother, 18-year old John – both men, of St. Enda's, Beechpark, Ennis, were facing charges in relation to an alleged assault.
In court yesterday, Garda re-inforcements were called to deal with the disturbance, and the court hearing was suspended for around 20 minutes.
The men were remanded in custody when business resumed.
