Alison Chawke Released Early After Hotel Fight | Ireland News

Alison Chawke, daughter of famed publican Charlie Chawke, walked free from prison after just 28 days — thanks to Ireland’s controversial Community Return Scheme. The early release came after a violent brawl at the Dunraven Arms in Adare last November, where she allegedly threw a pint glass, bit someone, and kicked them in the head — all while heavily intoxicated. Though sentenced to 26 months (12 served), her brother Bill also faced jail time for his role in the chaos. The scheme, designed to ease prison overcrowding and aid reintegration, has sparked debate as Limerick Women’s Prison remains dangerously full.
