A Dungannon man has been disqualified from driving for 12 months following a drink-driving incident at a Coalisland roundabout.

Martin McCurry, 52, of Coalisland Road, appeared at Dungannon Magistrates’ Court and admitted a single charge of driving with excess alcohol.

The court heard that police were called to a two-vehicle collision on the roundabout on Ballynakilly Road at approximately 1.40pm on 23 May 2026. One of the cars involved was a red Toyota van driven by McCurry.

Officers speaking to McCurry at the scene detected a smell of intoxicating liquor on his breath. A preliminary roadside breath test was administered and returned a fail result.

He was arrested and taken to Lurgan custody suite, where an evidential breath sample gave a reading of 63 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms.

A defence solicitor informed the court that McCurry had held a driving licence for 25 years with no penalty points.

District Judge Rafferty disqualified McCurry from driving for one year and ordered him to pay a fine of £200 plus a £15 offender levy. He was allowed 10 weeks to pay.
