When they arrived she told them he was not known to her and he was found asleep in a downstairs bedroom.

Mr. Carr explained that he had been attending a Stag party and had too much alcohol to drink.

He added there was a party in the house, where he had been found.

The court heard shortly after 9am the defendant was seen to stumble and fall and hit his head off the footpath at Hoey's Lane but refused to be treated by paramedics.

Judge Ciaran Liddy applied the Probation Act in both cases.
