Bill Cullen cleared of speeding offence after address mix up

Bill Cullen has been cleared of a speeding offence after a court heard that his country mansion often gets mixed up with a young offenders’ jail.

The businessman and star of the TV3’s The Apprentice had to appear at Dublin District Court yesterday for speeding after a fixed penalty notice fine of €80 went unpaid.

A court summons was issued against the one-time king of the Irish motor industry for breaking the 60kph speed limit on the M1, at Cloughran, in north Co Dublin, on the afternoon of June 8 last year.
