A man who, when drunk, crashed his car into a wall, was disqualified from driving for three years this week at Ballina District Court.
On September 13 at 1.30am, gardaí were informed of a single road traffic accident which occurred on George Street, Killala.
A car, which was driven by Aaron Kearney, Coolanghan, Carrowmore Lacken, Ballina, had hit a wall, after he drove his car to see if the chipper was open.
