RTÉ journalist spared conviction for speeding

RTÉ political correspondent David Davin-Power was spared a fine and a speeding conviction yesterday after he donated €150 to charity.

The journalist appeared at Dublin District Court to face a summons for driving in excess of a 50km/h speed limit at the Ballymun Rd, in Glasnevin, Dublin, on the afternoon of May 21 last.

He had to come to court because he had not sent a cheque on time to pay a fixed charge fine.
