Blaming a pub owner for the alleged injuries of a woman during a rush to grab a spot prize at an Ann Summers sex toy party would fly in the face of common sense, a court has been told.
Sylvia Deehan, 46, is suing a bar near her Dublin home after claiming she was shoved into a speaker when 'a ring that goes around a certain part of a man' was thrown in the air.
The toy was up for grabs as part of a ladies night at the Lough Inn pub in Loughlinstown, which climaxed in a performance by the Hunks of Desire male stripper troupe.
On the final day of the case before Dublin's High Court, a safety expert said a ban on spot prizes at such parties - which he said was a custom going back generations - would be the same as banning dancing.
Summing up evidence, defence barrister Joe McGettigan SC, for the pub owners Loughlinstown Inn Ltd, accused mother-of-two Ms Deehan of having two versions of what actually happened on the night, on January 21, 2011.
