Politician Arrested Three Times In 24-Hours
An unnamed politician has been arrested three times in a 24-hour period after reportedly being ejected from the Indiepence music festival near Mitchelstown, north Cork.
According to reports the man, understood to be aged in 30s and not from the area, was first detained on Sunday afternoon, 31 July, when garda were alerted to his "erratic behaviour" in the vicinity of the festival.
It is understood the man was uncooperative with Garda, who subsequently detained him and took him the local garda station.
The man was released a few hours later without charge.
However, within 90 minutes he was arrested a second time for suspected drink driving and taken again to Fermoy Garda station.
He was later released, only to be arrested a third time for being drunk and disorderly and returned again to the garda station.
He has since been released without charge and a file is being prepared for the DPP.
It is alleged that a garda officer was assault during one of the arrests.
