);
A man who drove at a ‘quite shocking’ speed on the motorway has been convicted of careless driving.
On April 29, 2020, a garda speed check on the M9 detected a car travelling at 190kph. The driver was Thomas Kerrigan, Mullaghcash Hill, Twomilehouse, Newbridge.
Solicitor Chris Hogan said his client was traveling to visit his elderly aunt who was exhibiting Covid symptoms, and he had a respiratory machine in the car for her.
Mr Kerrigan is a self-employed carpenter living in a remote area. He helps to look after his elderly parents. His licence is important to him, Mr Hogan said.
