A socialite who romped with a fellow passenger on a flight from India bragged she had been taking opium, a court has heard. Clare Irby, a descendant of the Guinness family, is said to have allowed a man she had just met to fondle her breasts while his girlfriend slept nearby.
She had shared at least three bottles of wine with Daniel Melia, who kissed and caressed her while her two-year-old son was left unattended and crying, the court heard.

A fellow passenger told the court that Irby had told Melia she was feeling more relaxed than usual because she had been taking lots of opium.
Irby, 30, was arrested for drunkenness and lewd behaviour when the aircraft landed in Britain.
She told police she couldn't remember behaving in the way she was accused of but said it sounded as if 'I didn't behave like a young lady'.
At one point in the 11-hour Kingfisher Airlines flight from Bangalore to Heathrow, Irby is said to have stripped down to a black G-string.
She also allegedly told staff to 'wipe this s*** off my hand' after her son soiled his nappy, generated 'two bin bags full' of rubbish and called a stewardess 'a bitch'.
Irby said she had had very little sleep before the flight as she had got up early to catch the plane after a three-month stay in the beach resort of Goa.
She denied being drunk, saying she had had only three or four glasses of wine on the plane.
Irby also denied romping with Melia declaring: 'Nobody touched my bloody breasts, this was something I'd remember as a woman, I assure you.'
Irby told the court she had never stripped off. Instead she had changed into trousers by pulling them up under her skirt.
She also denied saying she felt relaxed because she had taken opium. The court heard that Kingfisher Airlines is run by the Indian beer company. The airline has been serving drinks on board since September last year, when it began international flights.
