An Ahoghill motorist detected driving with alcohol in breath has been banned from the roads for three years and has been fined £300.

Kathryn Logan (45), of Brookhill Mews, was detected on August 28 this year. She had an alcohol in breath reading of 84 - the legal limit is 35.

A defence solicitor told Ballymena Magistrates Court it had been a "morning after the night before" detection when the defendant had felt capable to drive.

After arriving home from the morning trip to a retail outlet she had taken a glass of wine. She wished to apologise for the offence.

District Judge Nigel Broderick said it was the defendant's third conviction of being involved with a vehicle when she had drink taken.

He told her: "If you keep doing this you will end up going to prison."
