‘Foul-mouthed canon’ can appeal six-month driving ban

Speeding cleric, Canon Bob Hanna, 68, is to remain on the road in spite of receiving a six-month driving ban only 13 days ago.

This follows Canon Hanna yesterday appearing at Ennis District Court, where he successfully obtained terms to appeal his ban to the circuit court from the same judge who banned him.

Earlier this month, at the district court, Judge Patrick Durcan banned Canon Hanna from driving after describing his conduct when stopped by gardaí as ‘despicable’ at Bunratty West on April 17 last.
