• Haulier in court after road rage incident in Portlaoise Dangerous driving (reduced to careless driving) · Co. Laois

  On June 28, 2025, at Togher, Portlaoise, a lorry driven by Pat Farrelly (56), a haulier, allegedly pulled out in front of a female motorist, who braked sharply, in a road rage incident. Farrelly appeared before Portlaoise District Court accused of dangerous driving, and the prosecution was willing to accept a guilty plea to the lesser charge of careless driving. The judge said the case would be finalised in September if he completes a pro-social driving course and pays €1,000 compensation to the injured party, while the defence said he was willing to give €500 held in court. The matter was adjourned to Portlaoise District Court on September 10.
