The owner of a van and an employee of his who was involved in a road traffic accident after which it was discovered the employee who was driving the van was not covered by insurance both escaped a driving ban this week after pleading guilty to charges in Castlebar District Court this week.

A District Court judge this week praised the work of a Westport based garda who was surrounded by a mob who tried to stop him carrying out an arrest in the town. Garda Martin Kelly was attempting to carry out an arrest on Darren Heraty, Three Bridges, Islandeady, Castlebar, for a public order offence at Mill Street in Westport when a group of Heraty’s friends tried to stop Garda Kelly making the arrest. Garda Kelly was forced to call for back up from other officers who arrived at the scene to help their colleague.
