A TRIAL date has been set for
a man accused of impersonating a garda after allegedly using a flashing blue light to pull over an unmarked patrol car.
It is alleged that when the real garda who was stopped asked Stephen Magee (44) what he was doing, the accused falsely claimed he had trained gardaí and members of the fire brigade.
Mr Magee, of Myrtle House, Coast Road, Baldoyle has leaded not guilty to impersonating a member of the gardaí, at Grange Road, Baldoyle during the first Covid-19 lockdown on April 9 last year.
At Dublin District Court, the accused’s solicitor told Judge Bryan Smyth a date for hearing was being sought on a not guilty plea and the case would take around half a day.
