Drink driving case appealed to Court of Appeal

Anthony Coomey — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 13:27:11 +0000

Drink-driving prosecutions, put on hold following a High Court ruling last year, are due to be decided on Tuesday 10th May at the Court of Appeal.
The appeal taken by the Director of Public Prosecutions, against a High Court ruling that found drink-driving suspects who were breathalysed at Garda stations should have been given a print-out of their results in both Irish and English.
Mr Justice Séamus Noonan ruled the document provided to Mihai Avadenei (29), with an address in Swords, Co Dublin, had not included the Irish language “half” of the form and so was not evidence under road traffic legislation.
