Radio presenter suspended after drink-driving offence

RTÉ radio star Baz Ashmawy has been suspended by 2fm for a month after he admitted to being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.

The 35-year-old last night issued a statement in which he “unreservedly” acknowledged “that driving with excess alcohol was unacceptable on my behalf”.

The co-presenter of the 2fm weekend breakfast show was arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol in the early hours of last Friday morning, February 25, at Lower Rathmines Road, Dublin.
