Blood-alcohol test shows ex-EirGrid chief was four times over limit when he crashed into two parked cars
Mark Foley drink-driving case: ‘Where he crashed would have been my driver’s seat and my four-year-old in the back’
Mr Foley was driving on Anglesea Road in Ballsbridge at 5.45pm on January 13th last year when he swerved and crashed into two cars.‘Our lives will never be the same’: Woman lost father, son and brother on the same dangerous road They returned to the scene immediately. “There his car was in the middle of the road. It had swerved 180 degrees into our car. His airbag was up. His screen was smashed. How he wasn’t hurt was a miracle as well.
Mr Foley wrote off Ms Molloy’s family car, a four-year-old Peugeot 508 seven-seater which she and her husband had bought new for €58,000 in 2019. “It completely screwed us over because the car was a complete write-off. The insurance paid out the value of a second-hand car and the price of second-hand cars had skyrocketed.”
Garda Massey smelled alcohol on Mr Foley’s breath and asked him to provide a breath sample. He failed the breath test, the court heard. Ms Molloy anticipated that he would get a fine and a driving ban. She was shocked when the case was dismissed although she acknowledged the judge involved had to follow due process.
