The court heard the accused was “continuously” abusive to the garda and security.
He was visibly intoxicated and unsteady on his feet.
When arrested and brought to Raheny garda station, he remained very abusive and aggressive and attempted to “lunge” at officers.
The accused had had a “difficult upbringing,” his lawyer said.
Judge Bryan Smyth made the fine payable forthwith, giving Doyle five days in prison in default.
The accused was already in custody on remand when he appeared in court.
