Guard 5 Times over Drink Limit, Case Dismissed
She ran a light and nearly caused a crash and was found to be 5 times over the drink driving limit...yet the charge was dismissed on a technicality over the caution!
She was convicted of dangerous driving and fined 300€ and will be subject to internal disciplinary action, Possibly banned from driving a squad car for a while.

To me the only surprise is that her buddies arrested her in the first instance. One wonders were there other 'issues'!
Interestingly the DPP surely could have used, but did not -

No doubt such this Supreme Court ruling will be used in alleged brothel cases, if the mood takes them and I have no doubt no Guard will ever be prosecuted under our forthcoming Sex Worker Hating Laws!
Ride them on the beaches!
