Judge James O’Connor

When asked by Judge James O’Connor if she was pleading guilty or not guilty, Mary Bridget Sheehan, of Raheen, Caherciveen said she was pleading guilty.

Looks bad.

…He asked the Garda how he knew it was a phone, and said he passed a man driving the other day holding to his ear what could have been a small alarm clock.

Very good point.

… [He] said the charge of holding a mobile phone could have serious implications for the woman’s motor insurance, and struck out the case.

Huzzah!

“What’s the deal with Michael Healy-Rae on last night’s RTÉ programme ‘Looking after No 1’ ? Driving down the road, on the phone, notepad and pen in hand and at the same time chatting to the RTÉ camera [above]?

If you or I were to do this, not only would there be penalty points involved, but more than likely a heavy fine, disqualification from driving for a few years etc, but it’s OK for for a TD? Hmmmm….”

A hilarious and adorable New Zealand anti drug-driving PSA with a serious subtext from Maori Television what sez:

Three Maori boys find themselves in a situation familiar to most kids growing up in New Zealand – sitting outside in the car, waiting for one of their dads to come out and drive one of them home. The only thing is, the dad has been blazing, and the kids know it.
