The prosecution lawyer said: "Mr Walsh, is it not simply the case that you had too much to drink, lost control of the car, caused all the damage in your Ferrari and then you fled the scene because you realised that you are in trouble.

"Is that not the simple explanation for all of this?"

Walsh, who has a previous conviction for drunk driving, had the keys to both the Ferrari and a Porsche when he was arrested hiding in bushes.

A bottle of Vodka was found in the Ferrari, which Walsh said he had with him because he planned to attend a party that evening.

District judge Peter King told him: "I have to say Mr Walsh, do not be tempted to get behind the wheel of a car.

"You are now disqualified and if you come back before me for driving while disqualified your liberty will be in jeopardy."
