If he was a guest at the hotel how come he didn't have a key to get in no matter what time of night he was trying to get in??? Do hotels have a closing time?

All hotels have closing times, after which you ring the doorbell for the night porter to admit you.
Your key is for your room not the front door.

I know the procedure re hotel keys .....what I really was trying to say in my post was that surely there was a legitimate way to get in to the hotel such as contacting the night porter. That makes this incident so difficult to comprehend and so tragic too, of course.

Definitely is a night porter at Sligo City Hotel. He/she may have been away from the desk at the time doing something else and as it was a shítty night, poor guy decided to try an alternate route in. Genuine mistake that cost him dearly but not call for "Darwin Award" insults.

Consider this your first warning for making inappropriate remarks in light of this awful tragedy.

Only read about this today. Condolances to the mans partner/fiancee, family and friends. Thoughts also with the staff on that night.

Media stated earlier that the guy and his girlfriend could not gain re-admittance back into the hotel after a night out on the town, they didn't give a reason as to why they could not get in although there was night staff working in the hotel at the time.

It is believed that he climbed over a low railing at the hotel but didn't realise that there was a considerably larger drop on the other side of this railing, and that's when his accident happened, it's unfair to blame anybody really as nobody really knows what happened. It would appear to have been a very sad and tragic accident.
