McGreene ( right) pleaded guilty to the assault at a house in Kilkee, Co Clare, back in February 2017.
At Ennis Circuit Court, counsel for McGreene, Brian McInerney, told the court his client “found himself unexpectedly confronted with circumstances that no red- blooded man would wish to be confronted with”.
Mr McInerney said McGreene “was confronted with a large element of provocation” and that he accepted that he “over- reacted”.
He picked up the

In evidence, Det Garda Paul Heaslip said Mr McGreene returned home at 4am where he found Mr Bracken fully naked in his bed with his fiancee, who also lived at the address.
Mr McGreene has been on remand in prison since October concerning this and a drugs offence.
The case was adjourned for sentencing.
