Stag party man who drank adrenaline ‘lucky to be alive’

A visit to Galway for a stag party could have proved fatal for a man who climbed in a hospital window and helped himself to two bottles of Adrenaline.

John Kane (24), from 154 Dundrum Road, Newcastle, Co Down, could not account for his actions and agreed he was lucky to be alive when questioned about the incident by Judge Mary Fahy at Galway District Court.

Kane, the court was told, had come to Galway with a group of friends for a stag party, but he became separated from them and could not recall how he ended up in the grounds of Merlin Park Hospital, and more specifically outside Unit 1, at 7.15p.m. on June 20 last.
