    Tom Coleman Ballytiglea Borris Co Carlow (age 56) was drunk going home from the fair of Borris one night on[e] his way home. He went into a neighbour's house and he stopped their until twelve O'clock.
    When he came out on to the road he could not find his way and he was going around and around for ten minutes and all of a sudden a light appeared on both sides of the road and went along in front of him to his own house and then it disappeared.
