Cheers! Judge gives drink driver small fine as gift
District court Judge James McNulty, who usually imposes a €500 fine on anyone in west Cork upon conviction of a drink driving charge, gave Killian Kelleher, 36, of Knockane, Tarelton, Macroom, Co Cork, a nominal 10 fine after he was told that Mr Kelleher and his long-term partner had tied the knot just days before the court hearing.
Mr Kelleher pleaded guilty before Judge McNulty at a hearing of Bandon District Court last Friday to a charge of driving with excess alcohol.
