Police radio and mobile phone frequencies may interfere with the accuracy of breath alcohol level readings in suspected drink driving cases, the High Court has heard.
The information was presented to Mr Justice McKechnie who granted a Co Kildare doctor, charged with a drink-driving related offence, an order preventing his trial from going ahead in the District Court on Monday next.
Dr Christopher Nielson, of Escombe Lodge, Leixlip, claimed the State had failed to provide him with reasonable facilities to inspect the Intoximeter that registered his alcohol breath count as above the legally permitted level.
