Three men have avoided conviction at Longford District Court last week after they were charged with “recklessly permitting” a horst to pose a danger to other road users while driving horse-drawn sulkies on the N4.
Martin Anthony McGinley of 5 Glack View, Longford, Christy McGinley and Martin McGinley, both of 33 Glack, Longford, told the court last week that they were exercising their horses at Coolnahinch, Longford on June 12, 2020, when they were stopped by gardaí.
On that day, shortly after 11am, gardaí received a number of reports of three males racing sulkies on the N4. Garda Allan Doherty and Garda Rachel Carlin made their way to the where they observed the three sulkies on the hard shoulder.
