Exclusive - Craig Kavanagh, of Claddagh Road in Ballyfermot, Dublin 10 pleaded guilty to a number of motoring offences between June 2022 and July 2023 including two offences of driving under the influence of cocaine and four no insurance offences.
A former soldier and ‘promising’ boxer has been jailed for six months and banned from driving for a total of 14 years for two offences of driving while on cocaine and four no insurance offences.
Garda Stephen Walsh gave evidence that on June 20, 2022 gardai stopped Kavanagh driving a black 131 registered BMW that was being driven erratically at 2.30am in the Drimnagh area of Dublin. The vehicle was stopped and Kavanagh, who had no insurance and no driving licence, failed to produce his documents at a nominated garda station.
On September 21, 2022 Kavanagh was stopped again by gardai when he drove off at speed on Harold’s Cross Road. Gardai observed he was ‘sweating and his pupils were dilated.’ He also tested positive for having cocaine in his system. Defence counsel said Kavanagh, who is currently on social welfare, “has a very promising career in boxing.”
