Superior courts recognise 'cynical' appearance of recent drink driving challenges, says judge

The Superior Courts recognise that recent challenges to the interpretation of drink driving legislation contain many arguments that have the appearance of being "cynical", according to a senior judge.

Giving judgment on a drink driver’s claim that he had the “right to be informed” that breathalyser statements can be provided in either Irish or English, Ms Justice Marie Baker said “it would be best” to describe the arguments advanced as being “technical in nature”.
