The court was told there were pleas to the charges. Judge Eiteain Cunningham asked the court what was happening in the church at the time of the disturbance and was told it was a funeral mass. Solicitor for the accused, Mr Frank Dorrian said his client was a relatively young man from a well-established Traveller family in Letterkenny but that he had issues. He said one of the reasons he was not in court was because he was in an emotional state. Mr Dorrian explained that this was a very unseemly event but that his client only took part in matters from a vocal level. He added that others involved in the incident had been sent forward for trial at Letterkenny Circuit Court. The solicitor asked Judge Cunningham that she treat this on the minimum level (of involvement) adding his client was "in great emotional difficulty." However, Judge Cunningham said she did not regard it as 'minimal interaction' and added that she thought McDonagh should come before the court. "I don't think any order could be done in his absence," added the Judge. The case was adjourned until July 3rd next.
