County Councillor’s appeal against drink-driving conviction is adjourned

June 29, 2017

The appeal of a Donegal County Councillor against a drink driving conviction has been adjourned to a special sitting of the Letterkenny Circuit Court next month.

Fianna Fáil Councillor Ciaran Brogan was banned from driving for three years in December 2016 at Letterkenny District Court when found guilty of being drunk in charge of a vehicle.

Brogan was said to have been found asleep behind the wheel of a Toyota Avensis parked on a road at Ballymacool, Letterkenny on June 22, 2015.

Brogan (44) of Sockar, Trentagh, denied the charge.

Defence counsel had travelled from Dublin this afternoon to represent Brogan, but Judge John O’Hagan told today’s sitting of Letterkenny Circuit Court that he was adjourning the matter to the July sitting when the appeal will be heard by a visiting judge.
