He was caught between 8:30-9pm. He had driven from Dublin. As adult male passes approx. 1 unit of alcohol per hour through their body. What was his blood alcohol level like when he got into the car is something I'd be more interested in? He claims he had 2 pints with a meal before the match (throw in at 3:30pm). I personally don't believe he only had 2 pints.

Sorry, I have zero tolerance or sympathy for drink drivers.

Ahem...
"It subsequently emerged that he would have been under the limit had he been driving on a full licence rather than a provisional one."

So, not anything like pissed, then.

I've posted an article to show that he has been convicted.

The presenter has confirmed that he was convicted.

Both are incorrect I'd say?

To be convicted don't you need to be convicted in court?

The case did not go to court.

No, because you're on a lifetime licence.

He'd have asked half the callers if anyone in their family had died in a traffic accent.

sligojoek · 15-07-2020 01:17PM

Are there any pics of him driving with L or N plates?

Park Royal · 15-07-2020 01:17PM

Is there any hope the 1 in 13 without car insurance might be focused on.

Always feel the Garda are not doing a half decent job getting compliance of rules of the road.

Time they were relieved of the responsibility and a new body formed in their place.

A few questions.

Why don't they perform background checks on government ministers, and if they do, why didn't a drink driving conviction show up?

Secondly, did he make a complaint about the garda record before now, and, if so, why has it taken so long to resolve?

Thirdly, if Mr Cowen is telling us the truth here, what will happen to the garda involved and will Mr Cowen be reinstated?

Fourthly, what does an ex FF government minister have to do to be criticised by his voters?

Conor Lenihan made the key point on RTE this morning that routine Garda
vetting is done on any Ministers -to-be ( and presumably anything that comes to light would be reported to the Taoiseach). Surely this must be looked into.

Look ffs at the dail bar bill yearly. They are all at it for the most part. Mehole knew Barry was toxic...he had no choice.

ShamNNspace · 15-07-2020 01:19PM

Answer questions in the Dail is it? It's all a charade reading out prepared statements. It's all a game an were all in on it

The case did not go to court.

Then you have to ask whether these two statements are potentially defamatory?

If so what action has been taken to rectify this.

On what basis do you assert that these are untrue?

jetfiremuck · 15-07-2020 01:21PM

This whole debacle would have been avoided if meehole canned him from the start.

15-07-2020 01:21PM

Damien's view - drink driving is perfectly fine as long as long as you don't hit anyone

fritzelly · 15-07-2020 01:22PM

Míchéal Martin won't last, he will bring down the government, it's all over. Shortest Taoiseach term in history??

NasserShammaz · 15-07-2020 01:22PM

Indeed. Surely this situation could have been avoided if what he says is true

Dan Jaman · 15-07-2020 01:23PM

De Whats App groups?

Jeez, that's serious shyt, so.

Arghus · 15-07-2020 01:26PM

I wonder will they have anyone on that's been affected by accidents involving drunk drivers?

Absolutely ridiculous how the traffic - no pun intended - is 90% Pro Cowen.

NasserShammaz · 15-07-2020 01:27PM

Bet the f#cker had no insurance

jetfiremuck · 15-07-2020 01:27PM

wrong....the mbi would cover it as an unsinsured driver

McGinniesta · 15-07-2020 01:27PM

It's like FF were never out of Government.

They are the standard by which all irish strokers should be judged.

That's saying something considering the turkeys that we have in parliament
