Each was prosecuted for being intoxicated and engaging in threatening behaviour on January 5 at Main Street, Clane.
They were encountered by gardaí on mobile patrol, Naas District Court was told. They were intoxicated, abusive to gardaí and causing annoyance.
She said the gardaí had received a call and the defendants were arrested.
Solicitor Cairbre Finan said they went on a bit of an adventure on a bus and have very little memory of it. He added he had been asked to apologise.
He added that it “got out of hand” and they were detained for a number of hours.

Mr Kinsella has five previous convictions for public order offences and Ms Cahill has four previous convictions for theft. Ms Cullen had one prior conviction for theft.
Judge Desmond Zaidan bound them to the peace for twelve months.
