Court told blood alcohol levels ‘not a definitive diagnostic tool’

The findings were heard at the trial in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, of the bar manager of Hayes’s Hotel, Thurles, Gary Wright, aged 24 and barman, Aidan Doyle, aged 28, both of Kilfithmone, Borrisoleigh, who deny the manslaughter of Graham Parish, 26, who was found dead in an upstairs conference room at the hotel on July 1, 2008.

Mr Parish had been drinking heavily in the hotel bar the night before with friends, celebrating his 26th birthday.
