Drunk Lithuanians ‘more Irish than Irish’

Two Lithuanians were described as ‘more Irish than the Irish themselves’ when they started the night with a bottle of Jameson with vodka and Red Bull before they even went to the pub and ended up smashing a front window at the premises when refused more drink.

Ricardas Cegelis, 33, and Irmantas Kalendra, 35, had a heavy session of drinking before arriving at the Corner House in Carrigaline, Co Cork. Inspector Ronan Kennelly said the duo were served for a while but they were refused further service after it became obvious they were intoxicated and annoying other customers. Insp Kennelly said the two were effectively ejected from the pub because of their behaviour.

“The two gentlemen had been in the bar and had been served but were refused further service. Asked to leave, they became aggressive and they were ejected from the premises. After the doors had closed the damage was done to the side window of the premises,” Insp Kennelly said yesterday at Cork District Court.
