Bar Staff Cleared Of Manslaughter

A bar manager and bar man working at Hayes Hotel in Thurles, Co Tipperary, have been found not guilty of the manslaughter of a guest at the hotel.

The two accused – Gary Wright and Aidan Dalton with addresses in Borrisoleigh, Co Tipperary – had denied the manslaughter through gross negligence of Graham Parish from Lancashire in England.

Mr Parish had consumed 8 to 10 shots of spirits in a pint glass in one go before he was found dead at the hotel from alcohol poisoning.
