Kerry TD Michael Cahill was disqualified from driving for two years after being caught travelling at 190kmh on the Dublin-Cork motorway on Friday. He overtook a stream of traffic and came "aggressively" close to a van to force it to change lanes. Cahill said he will not appeal the disqualification and will step down as a member of the Oireachtas Justice Committee. The Taoiseach described the speeding as "utterly unacceptable". The two-year driving ban removes Cahill's ability to drive and prompted his withdrawal from committee duties amid political and public scrutiny.
