A drink driver, who came to garda attention when he drove along a busy street at night with no lights on, has failed in his bid to avoid a conviction in the district court.

Court presenter Inspector Anthony Harrington told Mallow District Court that the incident occurred in Kanturk, Co Cork, just before 1am on the morning of June 17, 2024.
