I was on the road that night and have inside information as to what happened also. People began arriving at the house around 9pm and it was clear that the owners of the house where trying to keep the noise level down to be fair. Things however did get out of hand, one student walked over to the house where the man who complained lived and pissed on his bushes, then ran back into where the party was, the students who live in the house then tried to get everybody out of the house and presumably down town. When the man asked the students to keep it down as he had children in bed, abuse was shouted at him. At this point his 17 year old daughter appeared and and students began shouting abuse at her. In particular there was a car of people which reved the engine, beeped the horn and shouted alot of verbal abuse and threw an unopened bottle of beer in the direction of the 17 year old as it sped away it was luckily it hit the railings of the stream and not her. At this point the father of the girl chased the car as it sped out of the estate to get the reg and he slipped to grate applause from the crowd who had moved onto the main road and did not no why he was running. The Gards arrived and asked him was he ok and he told them yes he had cut his head when he tripped most people had left the estate and they only talked to a few students next door. I agree that there was no bottle thrown at the man who complained but there was most definitley one thrown at his daughter. Also, the guys who live in the house which threw the party told their landlord they only had a few friends over and the party was nextdoor, they thought it was decent to blame the entire party on the students living next door.
The last big party that was thrown at the house was in October and some people at the party got into an argument on the road which was over racism and one guy involved wanted to go back into the house and "sort somebody out". Bottles where smashed on the road and against walls. This ended in three Garda cars and the landlord arriving at the property and the calls to the Gards came from property on the road behind the house not the road they lived on.
In regards to the threat of them not getting another good night's sleep.... il have to sleep on that one.
