A drink-driver who picked up a child from school while more than twice the legal limit has been fined £1,500 and banned for three years.
Alena Bystricka, of North Shore Road, Ramsey, admitted the offence after failing a breathalyser test with a reading of 88. The legal limit is 35.
Magistrates also ordered the 37-year-old to retake her test at the end of the ban and attend a drink-driving rehabilitation course.
Prosecuting advocate James Robinson told the court that Bystricka was driving a Vauxhall Zafira from Bunscoill Rhumsaa on December 7. In the car with her was her mother and two children.
