A trial heard that driving a tractor in west Clare at 5am was akin to announcing on Clare FM that ‘I’m up to no good’.

Image: Shutterstock/meunierd Image: Shutterstock/meunierd A JUDGE HAS jailed a west Clare man for two years concerning a series of offences involving “a runaway tractor”.

The judge described the accused – who has 57 previous convictions – as “a threat to society” and also imposed a six-year driving ban. His counsel, Brian Mc Inerney BL commented that the blood clotting may have arisen “from the cocktail of substances he had in his system”. The garda said that the tractor was driving over continuous white lines and driving through yield signs and flaunting road traffic laws.

He added: “Even more unusual – but not unique – would be the sight of a Massey Ferguson tractor in a housing estate at that hour of the morning.
