Man spared jail due to alcohol ban was caught drinking online

A man spared jailed on the condition he stay off alcohol and attend AA meetings has been remanded in custody after pictures of him drinking were posted on Facebook.

John Sinnott, who is from Coolamurray, Davidstown, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, appeared before Judge Barry Hickson at Wexford Circuit Criminal Court yesterday.

Last month, he was given a two-year sentence having been convicted of harassing Martina Dunne at Davidstown, Enniscorthy, between Aug 20, 2007, and Apr 23, 2008. Judge Hickson had adjourned sentence until yesterday on condition that he attend Alcoholics Anonymous, stay off drink, and attend the probation and welfare sentences.
