‘Carrauntoohil resident’ banned from driving

A courier whose only “bit of fun” is boy racing was part of a 100-strong convoy from Cork headed for Killarney last week when halted by gardaí. Stephen Croke, aged 27, of Baker’s Road, Gurranabraher, Cork, told Killarney District court he works with Fastway Couriers.

A Pole who gave his address as “Carrauntoohil”, Ireland’s highest mountain had one of the highest breath- alcohol readings ever to come before Killarney District Court. Arkadiusz Zglinski, aged 39, of Cathirlakes, Killorglin, Co Kerry, was spotted driving erratically by another driver at Knocknahone, Killarney, at about 6pm.

Zglinski who is originally from Poland, and was assisted by an interpreter, had pulled into a driveway and told the householder he was living at Carrauntoohil.
