Defending solicitor Tim Kennelly said the defendant is addicted to alcohol and had to tolerate difficult custody conditions when he was placed in an overcrowded cell which had unsanitary conditions.
“He has had an experience he doesn’t want to relive,” added Mr Kennelly.
Mr Kennelly said the defendant was “off the rails” for a period of 24 to 36 months and he did not believe he would be before the court again.
