A Galway man who came to Letterkenny on a team-bonding exercise with his GAA team got very drunk and was arrested by Gardai.

Ryan Smith, aged 20, was arrested by Gardai after being a danger to the public and himself at Lower Main Street in Letterkenny on February 24th, 2018.

Smith, of Williamstown, Galway told Judge Paul Kelly at Letterkenny District Court that he did not normally drink but got very drunk during a team-bonding exercise.

Garda Sgt Jim Collins told the court that Smith was cooperative when arrested.

Judge Kelly asked the accused “Well, did the binding work. Is that the way you would behave in Galway?”

“I wouldn’t normally drink. I’m sorry,” said Smith.

Judge Kelly applied the Probation Act.
