Court rejects man's claims he should have had breathalyser statements printed in Irish and English

A High Court judge has rejected claims by a man convicted of drink driving that, before breathalysing him, a garda should have given him the option of having the printed breath specimen result in Irish or English.

The availability of printed breathalyser statements in Irish and English is clearly there for the benefit of the person providing breath specimens and not the garda, Mr Justice Donald Binchy said.
