:rolleyes: The Advertiser is free. You pay good money for the Tribune… hurling coverage is below average and thats yhe only reason id read it.
Reading the Clare Champion online is normally the high point of my Thursday afternoon at work
Just the Sporting Press once a week and i read the Racing Post a bit as well.
It was a sad day when The Kingdom stopped being published. The Kerryman does the job and is sold at most good newsagents here across the pond.
Is the Vale Star still going?
To the best of my knowledge it is.
I take the News and Star myself. The Munster Express is a Redmondite rag.
A WOMAN who was nearly five times over the drink driving limit was apprehended by gardai after she pulled in to the roadside to help a plain clothes garda change his tyre.
Siobhan Cusack, 37, with an address at Pearce Avenue, Janesboro, parked at the side of the road of O’Donoghue Avenue, Janesboro on June 21 of last year, Limerick District Court has heard.
Garda Colm O’Shea, Henry Street station, had started duty at 9pm and was driving along the Childers Road when he became aware that the tyre of the rear passenger side was flat.
While he started changing the tyre on the Ford Focus, he saw a vehicle approaching and stopped behind the patrol car.
“A female got out, approached and was unsteady on her feet, as she walked towards us.
“She offered us assistance in changing the tyre, but I declined her offer. Garda O’Shea said he noticed a strong smell of alcohol emanating from her breath, and that her speech was slurred.
He said she returned and sat into the driver’s seat of her own vehicle, but he believed she would have been incapable of having proper control. He said he approached the vehicle, told her he was arresting her, and noticed two dogs with her in the front seat.
While he was in plain clothes, he said he identified himself as a member of An Garda Siochana. She got out of the vehicle, and sat next to the garda on a low wall beside the patrol car.
Garda O’Shea requested the assistance of another officer, Garda Barry O’Farrell of Henry Street, as he was unable to bring her to the station because of his flat tyre.
Garda O’Farrell arrived at the scene at approximately 10pm, and arrested the accused on suspicion of drink driving and conveyed her to Henry Street, while Garda O’Shea returned the vehicle to her address, and put her dogs in her house, before returning her car keys to the station.
A third garda produced to her a print-out of her breath test, showing 101mg of alcohol for 100ml of breath. The limit is 22mg/100ml of breath.
She was charged at 11.25pm, and after caution, that anything she said could be used against her in evidence, said: ‘Did anyone take a breath specimen from me?’ However, she claimed she said ‘Did anyone take a blood sample from me?’
Inspector Dermot O’Connor queried if a blood sample had been taken from her why would she say such a thing.
Solicitor Sarah Ryan said her client was co-operative with gardai at all times, but maintains that she was handcuffed unnecessarily while being put into the back of the van.
The defendant said she ‘clearly remembered being handcuffed because she had never been handcuffed before or arrested before’.
Gardai said she was very compliant, and they did not handcuff her, nor did they have any reason to do so.
Judge Marian O’Leary said she accepted the garda’s evidence that she was not handcuffed, and found her guilty. She was fined €500, with six months to pay and disqualified from driving for three years.

Female Judge leathered her with that 500e fine and 3 years off the road. That was way over the top. Sure she was foolish to do what she did but at the same time she didn’t cause an accident or a fuss and apparently she was polite and co operative. Also seems like this was her first ever involved with the Gardaí, I could be wrong about that she did say she was never handcuffed before. I’ll bet if she was before a male judge he would have been far more lenient with her. She won’t do that again.
Where abouts is Kilruane? Fucking animals
