A bus driver facing dangerous driving and drink driving charges on the M7 in Co Kildare is due to appear again before Naas District Court next month.

The man in his sixties appeared before the court today, with a charge of dangerous driving and drink driving at Walshestown, Co Kildare, on October 7, 2018. He is being represented by solicitor Conal Boyce.

It is alleged Gardaí went to the scene with flashing lights and brought the bus to a stop on the hard shoulder.

It is alleged that he had 84mg of alcohol in his system. The limit for a bus driver is 9mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath.

The case has been adjourned until 28 November, next, for DPP directions. There were no objections to bail.
