A senior police officer has been disqualified from driving for 18 months after admitting drink driving.She was more than twice the drink-drive limit at the time.
Appearing at Lisburn Magistrates Court, Ms Foy, whose address was given as Brooklyn House, Knock Road, Belfast, entered guilty pleas to drink-driving, careless driving and three other offences of failing to stop, remain and report following an accident on 24 December 2022.Her solicitor told the court that her decision has "left her 34-year police career in jeopardy and her reputation in tatters".
District Judge Rosie Watters said given the reading of 89 and the fact that Ms Foy fled the scene, the driving ban had to be more than the minimum.
