Tipperary hurler in court on drink-driving related offence

Cathal Barrett accused of being in charge of vehicle with intent to attempt to drive while over legal limit

@GeoffreyBoycott

That report says that the alleged incident occurred on the 3rd of March last. Was that not the week of the snow? You’d want your head examined to have been out trying to drive in that weather.

He wasn’t driving. Apparently this case will be thrown out and was only reported on because he didn’t turn up to court

@GeoffreyBoycott

The report that was posted up says that he was charged with being in control of a vehicle with intent to drive. In general terms without knowing anything about specifics of this case, if the key is in the ignition and you’re sleeping in the driver seat, you can still get done for drink driving. Word of warning, if you’re ever crashing in the car after a night on the sauce, don’t sleep in the driver seat and don’t leave the key in the ignition.

This is going to shock @the_man_himself to the core.
