Councillor ‘ashamed’ over drink driving arrest
Sinn Féin Cllr Pat Buckley, a member of Midleton Town Council in Co Cork, is awaiting the outcome of tests on a blood sample he gave following his arrest on the outskirts of the town in the early hours of Sunday morning last.
Despite not knowing if he is to face charges or not, Mr Buckley said: “I am disgusted with myself. It [driving after consuming alcohol] is something I’ve never done before. It’s not my form and it was never in my character. I’m so ashamed of it now.”
