‘Contrite’ FF TD gets one-year ban for drink driving

A “CONTRITE” Fianna Fáil TD who received a one-year driving ban yesterday for drink driving said he wants to get back to work for his constituents.

The Fianna Fáil party headquarters confirmed that as far as it is concerned, the matter is now closed.

Christy O’Sullivan, aged 59, from Hillside, Tawnies, Clonakilty, Co Cork, who represents the Cork South West constituency, pleaded guilty at Clonakilty District Court yesterday to driving with excess alcohol in his system on the Western Road, outside Clonakilty on June 2, 2008.
