The court heard that on April 22 last year at Main Street, Waringstown, police saw a van coming in the opposite direction to them and they noticed the driver was using a mobile phone.

They pulled the van in and Swift admitted driving while using the phone.

The defendant appeared in court himself and pleaded guilty.
