    But those restrictions were lifted by Judge Alan Mitchell this afternoon, following an application by lawyers representing RTÉ and other media organisations.”

    His solicitor, Michael Kelleher, told the court that his client had been at a party and was intoxicated.

    He described his client’s conduct as “extremely misguided, foolish horseplay by a drunk man” rather than anything more sinister.

    Edit:

    “The court heard there was no connection between Mr Leela and the children”
