A MAN who provided “short, sharp breaths” into an intoxlyser machine after he was arrested on suspicion of drink driving has been accused of “trying to fool” the machine. Tony O’Leary (53), of Lower Quay, Liscannor, was convicted of failing to provide a breath specimen to gardaí, at Ennis Garda Station. Garda Michael Sweeney told Ennis District Court that he was at the Garda station on November 9, 2007, when another garda arrived with the accused who had been arrested on suspicion of drink driving. Garda Sweeney said he started a 20 minute observation of Mr O’Leary. He said he demanded a breath specimen. “He started providing a breath specimen. He gave a short, sharp breath, which was insufficient, twice,” said the garda. Registration is required to view this content, registration is FREE |
