Five time All-Ireland winner is disqualified from driving for two years
Limerick hurler and five-time All-Ireland winner Kyle Hayes has been disqualified from driving for two years after he was convicted of dangerous driving after overtaking nine cars at 155km/h in a 100km/h zone.
Garda Barrett told how she had been on speed traffic duty in a marked Garda car at Lissavoultra near Grenagh where the road consists of 2+1 dual carriage system, with alternate sections where the road is two lanes wide before reducing to one in each direction.
She pursued the car and stopped it. She told the driver he had been driving at 155km/h on a national road where the speed limit was 100km/h. He said he had overtaken the cars on his left and had a clear overtaking lane ahead of him. He said the cars on his left started to accelerate and he had to speed up to overtake them and get back into the left lane as the dual carriageway reduced to a single lane sooner than he expected.
