Ian Bailey has insisted he was not over the limit when he was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving in West Cork on Sunday night.

The poet and writer said he attempted to provide a roadside breath test on three occasions but that the machine may have been defective, and later provided a urine sample at Bantry Garda Station.
