A jury is expected to decide later this week whether two barmen are culpable for the manslaughter of a father of two who died from acute alcohol poisoning after spending an evening drinking heavily in Hayes Hotel, Thurles, Co Tipperary.
At Nenagh Circuit Criminal Court last week, hotel bar manager Gary Wright, 34, and barman Aidan Dalton, 28, denied the manslaughter of Graham Parish at the hotel on July 1, 2008.
Mr Parish, of 41 Calder Terrace, Lomeshaye village near Nelson, Lancashire, England, was staying at the hotel when he died hours after celebrating his 26th birthday in the bar with colleagues. A civil engineer with Reliant Installation in England, Mr Parish had arrived in Ireland on June 30, 2008, to oversee work at a meat processing plant in Dew Valley, Thurles.
