• Man who failed to pay taxi fare found walking on motorway, Naas court hears Failure to pay taxi fare · Co. Kildare

  A man who took a taxi from Carlow town to Kildare left the vehicle without paying near Kilcullen. The victim is named in the case details as Patrick Hughes, and the taxi driver called gardaí when the man became agitated. Gardaí later found the man walking unsteadily on the hard shoulder of the motorway, noting a smell of alcohol and slurred speech, and a Naas District Court report published on 10 July 2025 says the defendant handed over the €90 fare in court. No charge or sentence is recorded in the sources.
