Irishman accused of throwing partygoer off booze boat

AN Irishman accused of throwing a fellow partygoer over the railings of a ‘booze cruise’ ship in the US remained in jail last night after bail was set at $5m.

It is believed there is a high risk of William Monaghan fleeing because he is an Irish citizen.

The 27-year-old carpenter, who lives in San Francisco, is accused of throwing a 30-year-old Swiss national overboard during the cruise late last Saturday night.
