    A man has been ordered to pay 1,950 euro to the owner of an amusement arcade for striking a punch-bag after it swung back and hit him on the jaw.


    Paul Kelly, 23, of Lisanisk in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan, admitted hitting the bag and damaging it in a fit of anger after it struck him.
    His lawyer said the blow had caused damage to the machine's mechanism.


    Carrickmacross District Court heard moments earlier Kelly thought he had won a payout for punching the bag hard.
    The incident took place at a recent summer festival in the town.

    I've personally lost count of how many boxing bags I've knocked out of ceilings.... they never got up and tried hitting me back though.

    They may not have tried hitting you back but how many have tried to sue you?
