Over 30 motorists suspected of breaking road traffic laws walked free from court without any sanction after a judge struck out all of the cases.

At Ennis District Court, Judge Patrick Durcan took aim at members of the Oireachtas for failing to legislate properly in areas of road traffic law as he struck out 34 Garda prosecutions against motorists as a result of a recent High Court ruling which found that a section of the Road Traffic Act concerning defences to fixed charge notices is unconstitutional.
