They saw the defendant who was shouting loudly. He was asked to calm down but continued to shout and was arrested.

Mr Conor Downey, representing the defendant, said Lavery had been out with friends celebrating St Patrick’s Day. He was very drunk.

Imposing the fine District Judge, Mr Alan White, said he hoped this incident was a one-off and that Lavery was not going back to his behaviour of a few years ago.
