A one-day rave event at the Marquee last summer was the scene for a disturbance caused by one young man who was so intoxicated he barged through the crowd in the dance tent causing people to stumble and spill drinks.

And when gardaí approached him he resisted arrest and was extremely verbally abusive to them. This was the evidence against 22-year-old Keith McInerney of 39 Fairfields Meadows, Upper Fair Hill, Cork.
