Drink drive cases halted

Nine drink-driving cases were struck out at Tralee District Court following an address to the court on behalf of Kerry solicitors which stated that a further appeal was being taken in the “Avadenei” case.

The ball was still in the air and the game was not over, in the matter of the Avadenei Irish language Evidenzer drink-driving cases, Tralee District Court has been told.

He had it on good legal authority that Mr Avadenei was going to appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court, Killarney solicitor Pat F O’Connor, said, asking for a general adjournment of the 100 drink-driving cases affected by the original challenge and still in the courts in Kerry.
