Man seen hanging from roof of taxi delivered by driver to Garda station to be arrested

A father of four who hung from the roof of a taxi, as it ferried his partner through Limerick city, was delivered by the cab to arresting officers at Henry Street garda station, a court has heard, writes David Raleigh.

On July 4, 2016, shortly before 12.25am, a garda mobile patrol unit observed a taxi driving from Glentworth Street onto Henry Street, with Darren O'Loughlin "hanging onto the roof" of the cab, gardai said.
