Kilrush District Court
An expert medical witness has told a court that a 27-year-old west Clare man was undergoing a sleep disorder episode when he was drink-driving and his car veered off the road into a ditch last year.
At Kilrush District Court, sleep disorder expert, Dr John Garvey of St Vincent’s Private Hospital in Dublin, said that in his opinion, Jack Sheehan of Sheehan’s Corner, Shragh, Kilrush, Co Clare on the night of December 2 last, drove his car as a result of a NREM parasomnia.
