Thirteen people were arrested after the major disturbance at a house on the Thornberry estate near Mountain Top in Letterkenny in October 2011.

Up to 20 Gardai, some in protective clothing, were rushed to the disturbance.

Martin McClelland, of 36 Manor View, Letterkenny, yesterday pleaded guilty to criminal damage to a number of household items.

The court heard he admitted smashing up bedroom furniture including bedside lockers.

He also admitted smashing a clothes horse.

The case was adjourned for sentencing in July and McClelland remanded on continuing bail.
