Non Irish Speaking Romanian Challenges DUI Laws on Irish Grounds!

[The Libertarian]

Racist comment.

I expected more from you.

Rachel, he's a guest and a guest acting the bollox needs to be treated harshly!
As I have said the only reason for not deporting him is that he will almost certainly do the same in your home country and put the lives of decent Romanian people such as your goodself at serious risk!
To balance my point, I would also say that the law needs to be strengthened so if a foreign national here (or any group particularly vulnerable or liable to hate based attacks, eg gay people, senior citizens and toward the top of the list, all sex workers), then hate law legislation comes into play and an extra tariff is levied against the perp!
Rachel, in fairness, the term 'Racist' is a term easily bandied about and I rejected it totally out of hand in this case, above all this Gobshite is a Gobshite and needs to be treated like a Gobshite!

Your comment was racist. If the guy was any other nationality, I would have said the same thing.

Deported, go to your home country etc are not nice things to say.

What shall I say when I see a drunk Irish person driving?

Can´t say what you said, obviously. My question to you stands.

[warmcome]

If he was drunk driving what about everyone else's right to life for example!
A chancer acting the bollocks readily enabled by a sleemheen profession!

That would be unethical, whereas this is law.

Reject it all you want, but it is a racist remark. You are advocating a harsher punishment for a foreign national than for an irish person, for the same crime. In my opinion, regardless of nationality, a drunk driver should be fined, imprisoned and banned from driving.

Let me preface this by saying that I regard drink driving offences are serious!

A Romanian chancer is out Paddying us by challenging his arrest for suspected drunk driving because he was not given instructions in the primary legal language of the state, Irish, a language which btw , he cannot speak!
This has led to other serious cases wrt to drunk driving been put on hold!
Personally, I hope this clown gets deported, never to be let back!

HUNDREDS of cases of alleged drink-driving have been adjourned in district courts over a legal challenge brought by a Romanian national who was not given details of a breath test in Irish.

Case records show that although Mr Avandenei had good English, an interpreter was provided.

A subsequent breath test carried out by Gda Colm McCluskey gave a reading of 52 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath. The drink-drive limit is 22 microgrammes.

Gda McCluskey and Mr Avandenei both signed the computer print-out.

Mr Avandenei was charged with drink-driving and released on bail.

He appeared before Dublin District Court last July, when his solicitor Michael Staines argued that he should have been given a read-out of his breath test from the intoxlyser machine in both Irish and English.

Mr Staines said the print-out submitted to the court was not a duly completed statement within the meaning of the 2010 Road Traffic Act as it was only in English.

He submitted that the rules providing for the form of such statements required them to be in English and Irish.

Therefore, he argued, the document was not a duly completed statement and not admissible in evidence.

In a submission to the High Court, Judge Gibbons said he sided with the accused in the case, but asked for a ruling from the higher court.
