Prendergast’s defence counsel, Brendan Nix SC, warned that the tragic case was “a salutary lesson” about the dangers of binge drinking and alcohol-drug cocktails, including the drink Absinthe.
Mr Nix warned that Ireland already has enough problems with binge drinking and drug abuse without the re-emergence of Absinthe which became notorious in France and EuroFuckyLand in the 19th Century for literally driving addicts insane.
Prendergast launched the attack after a day-long social outing during which he consumed a cocktail of Absinthe, vodka, bacardi, beer, cider, cannabis and diazepam.
