The injured party alleged she was in the bathroom when Doran kicked the door and damaged it. She refused to co-operate with the prosecution. When interviewed Doran, who has a record, admitted the offence.

District Judge, Mr Mervyn Bates, said that offences of a similar nature had happened just six days before this incident. A defence barrister said Doran was in a relationship with this lady which had now ended.

He said the defendant had been socialising and the injured party had been socialising as well. A row broke out.
