Nothing.
But when the case was called, at Naas District Court, Chief Superintendent Pat Mangan told Judge Desmond Zaidan that the cases against the famous footballer [Darragh O’Se, above] were being withdrawn, on the instructions of the DPP.
“Why?” the judge asked.
Chief Supt Mangan explained documents had been shown to gardai to indicate that Mr O Se’s insurance and driving licence were in order.
The charges of dangerous driving and drink-driving were withdrawn for “procedural reasons”.

RTÉ is reporting that emergency stabilisation works were carried out last month on 14-17, Moore Street, Dublin, because the facade of No.15 was in danger of collapse.
Developers Chartered Land, who want to turn the four buildings into a 1916 interpretive centre (above) inside a massive shopping centre development, above, secured permission to carry out the works.
A group representing the relatives of the 1916 leaders want the buildings to be taken care of by a body such as the National Museum, and for the terrace and surrounding laneways to be preserved and restored as a battlefield site.
The plans by Chartered Land (below) are open to submissions from the public until April 24.
