Woman asked if black doctor was ‘Crocodile Dundee’

A woman asked “is that Crocodile Dundee?” after refusing to provide a blood sample to a black doctor.

According to assistant state solicitor for Clare, Aisling Casey, Rita Geoghegan, aged 51, was “extremely abusive and unco-operative” when brought to Shannon Garda Station on February 9 last year on suspicion of drink-driving.

Ms Casey said: “When the doctor arrived, who was a non-Irish national, the prisoner stated she was refusing to be seen by a black doctor and stated: ‘Is that Crocodile Dundee?’ ”
