Ferris ‘greatly relieved’ to be cleared of suspected drink driving

SINN FÉIN’S Martin Ferris yesterday said he was “greatly relieved” to be cleared of suspected drink driving.

A sample of urine, taken after the Kerry North TD was arrested in Ardfert, Co Kerry, last month, has showed a negative result.

Mr Ferris, who admitted to having consumed some alcohol, said he was confident at the time of his arrest, early on Sunday April 22, that he was under the limit and he had now been vindicated.
