 * “ai1ec” sounds like you have the All in One Event Calendar plugin installed. 
   It has a fairly extensive uninstall procedure, so I would suggest uninstalling
   that plugin properly.
 * To get back into your admin area with those errors, you need to disable the PHP
   display_errors setting on your hosting account. You will need to ask your host
   as to the proper way to do this.

 * Thanks, I’ve tried disabling All-In-One-Event-Calendar via FTP, Can I simply 
   put the plugin folder back in to re-enable it before disabling PHP errors?

 * Removing a plugin via FTP does not run the uninstall code for it. You should 
   put the plugin back and uninstall it properly.
 * You will still have to disable the display_errors setting in order to access 
   your site’s admin section.

 * So my web host say they disabled php display_errors using the command: define(‘
   WP_DEBUG’, false); but I don’t see any change and still can’t login.

 * That does not disable the PHP display_errors setting. They need to either modify
   the PHP.INI file, or make a custom one in your directory, or add a setting to.
   htaccess. Something along those lines. It’s outside WordPress.
