Fahey says sorry for speeding

MINISTER of State Frank Fahey contacted the Taoiseach yesterday to explain how his ministerial car was caught speeding last week.

Mr Fahey, the junior minister in the Department of Justice, also admitted that he has on occasion pressurised his driver if he was running late.

The Galway West TD made a full public apology yesterday for the incident last Tuesday night, in which his civilian driver received an on-the-spot fine.
