It’s always the ones you most expect.

And this sub will continue to defend him despite that.
If you come for the cyclists, you better make sure you’re squeaky clean. Vindictive bunch.
How’d he get away with just a fine? I thought that was an automatic disqualification?
Driving in the city has become a nightmare. I can no longer drive pissed off my arse because I have to watch out for all these cyclists smdh.
Is it a crime to like beer
Probably should breathalyse Judges before cases as it might explain some of the sentences you see given in the courts
Would anyone familiar with the law know if the person who had their compensation reduced could appeal based on the judge giving biased opinions not based in fact?
Am I seeing a trend with this guy. Obviously if u don’t like giving a sample, you probably don’t like cyclists as they get on your way. Hypothetically speaking if u were drinking and driving you would find cyclists a real nuisance. Same for pedestrians and other motorists. It would be enough to drive you to drink and drive, allegedly.
Cunt calling cunts cunts.
Will this case save the rural pub? Asking for a Healy-Rae
Asking for Garda/ lawyer feedback here.
600 fine for failing to provide a breathalyser seems super light. I would assume not providing a sample = over the limit to any logical thinking person.
So either A) it’s a glaring loophole to refuse the test and take the fine or B) he got crazy special treatment and both himself and the judge that imposed the comparatively small fine should be in front of an ethics review board with serious career repercussions.
Thought he was wearing a santy hat in that pic
This is the ad hominem fallacy; his own transgressions don’t invalidate his position.
Still funny though.
I always wanted to be a Circuit Court Judge when I was a younger man. But sadly, I couldn’t pass the bar..
lol, but he aint wrong.
Ok so he can’t have an opinion on anything ever??
A drink driving judge making a sweeping statement about cyclists…….classy
Love irish judges 💙 are there any actually respectable ones?
