Man was so intoxicated that he missed his punches, Kildare court told

Naas District Court was told that a man was so intoxicated that he missed the woman he was attempting to punch.

Gardaí told Judge Desmond Zaidan about the incident on Thursday, September 14 last.

It was heard that on April 3, 2018 at a property in County Kildare, Joe Conlon, with an address listed as 14 Cedarwood Park in Newbridge, attempted to punch a woman multiple times.

However, gardaí said that the 43-year-old was 'so intoxicated that none of the punches landed.'

After consideration, Judge Zaidan convicted Mr Conlon of the offence, under Section 2 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Persons Act, 1997, and ordered him to pay a fine of €350 within the next three months.
