Man accused of raping daughter 'cannot remember' incident, court hears

The Kerry man accused of raping his daughter more than 20 years ago has denied he cannot recall the alleged incident because he had been drinking at a party that night.

The man accepted he had a blank memory from drinking a few times in his life, but denied New Year's Night 1988 was such an occasion when prosecution counsel, Ms Aileen Donnelly SC, suggested it was why he could not recall the alleged rape.
