Sacked minister Barry Cowen faces an uphill battle in his bid to change the Garda Pulse record in relation to a drink-driving incident in September 2016.

Details of the Pulse record were published in a Sunday newspaper alleging that he had turned away from a garda checkpoint before he was stopped and breathalysed.
