Man blames foot infection for driving while drunk

A bad foot infection was blamed by a motorist for why he was drink-driving, despite multiple convictions for drink driving, having no insurance, and a 10-year driving ban.

Judge Aingeal Ní Chondúin imposed a four-month jail term on him yesterday at Cork District Court.

Insp Brian O’Donovan said the accused was stopped and arrested in the early hours of November 19, 2016.
