• Longford drunk-in-charge case struck out after jeep could not be driven Drunk in charge of a motor vehicle · Co. Longford

  Gerard Farrell (50) of Walderstown, Westmeath, was prosecuted for being in charge of a mechanically propelled vehicle with alcohol in his body above the legal limit, measured at 86 microgrammes per 100 millilitres of breath. On March 26, 2023, Garda Claire Hardman found his jeep upside down in a ditch at Gurteen, Ballymahon, Longford, and took him out of the vehicle and to hospital. At Longford District Court, the defence argued that the jeep could not be driven, and the prosecution could not change the charge from Section 5 to Section 4 at that late stage. Judge Bernadette Owens said she had no choice but to strike the matter out, and the outcome was reported on February 2, 2024.
