A taxi driver from Portadown has been disqualified from driving for two years after being convicted of driving with excess alcohol in Armagh. During the hearing, the judge questioned how the defendant could be so far over the legal limit at 5pm on a Friday afternoon.

In a separate case, a disqualified driver from Lurgan has been given suspended prison sentences and a new three-year driving ban after being caught behind the wheel twice while disqualified. One of the offences involved driving with more than twice the legal alcohol limit at a McDonald's drive-through.

The two cases were heard at court in County Armagh.
