• Derry man sentenced for drink driving and careless driving in Limerick Drink driving; careless driving; driving without a licence · Co. Limerick

  Stephen Ryan, a 54-year-old man from Derry, pleaded guilty to drink driving, careless driving and driving without a licence after being stopped on the dual carriageway at Anhid East, Croom, County Limerick, at around 10am on 18 September 2021. He failed a roadside breath test with a reading of 30mgs per 100mls, and the careless driving involved speed and overtaking manoeuvres in good road conditions. At Newcastle West Court, Judge Coolican fined him €500 for drink driving and put him off the road for six months, and imposed a further €500 fine for careless driving, with the driving licence charge taken into consideration. Ryan told the court he was travelling to Limerick to sell vapes and that an unmarked patrol car had pursued him, which he said gave him a fright.
