Ten people have appeared in New Ross District Court to face charges in connection with the death of Lars Eric Magnus Forsmark (31).
The eight men and two women were arrested in the town this morning. They include a local publican and his wife.
Some of the accused were charged with violent disorder and reckless endangerment, while others face charges of impeding the apprehension or prosecution of others. All ten were remanded in custody.
Mr Forsmark, who was Swedish, died as a result of injuries sustained in an early morning fracas in New Ross last July.
The victim had been seen drinking in a bar prior to the assault and he is known to have been in the town to work as a casual street trader during the three-day festival.
The jewellery seller, who lived in Sligo since 2001, was placed on a life-support machine after the assault but died two days later in Wexford General Hospital.
