‘Oh my God, what have I done? I abhor drink driving’

DISGRACED former minister Dr Jim McDaid has told how he abhors drink driving and cannot understand how he ended up driving the wrong way down a Kildare dual carriageway.

Speaking to the Donegal Democrat, Dr McDaid apologised for driving while intoxicated, saying there was no excuse for his actions.

“To say it is regrettable... is an understatement. What can I say, I don’t know how I did this, there is no excuse and I am not offering one. I simply wish to apologise,” he said.
