Bressie escapes speeding rap

Voice of Ireland star Niall “Bressie” Breslin had a speeding prosecution thrown out after a judge heard the singer was “nominated” for an offence which happened when he was out of the country.

The 33-year-old former Blizzards frontman had been summonsed to appear at Dublin District Court this morning and turned up to face the music even though he had not even been in Ireland when the offence was allegedly committed, on April 17 last year.
