Singer calls drink driving ‘stupid’ as ban lift bid fails

Dolores Keane has warned fans against the stupidity of drink driving after a sympathetic judge told her he couldn’t return her licence until next March.

The singer was speaking after a hearing in Glenties District Court when she applied halfway through a four-year drive ban for the return of her licence.

Judge Paul Kelly, who said at the original hearing two years ago that he was a fan of her A Woman’s Heart, told her he was prohibited in law from returning her licence now.
