David Ryan had his four-year driving ban lifted for dangerous driving causing serious bodily harm at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court on 20 June 2017. The offence involved a passenger being struck at Carysfort Park, Blackrock, Co Dublin, on 7 April 2011. Ryan had pleaded guilty, and a three-year prison sentence imposed in July 2014 had been suspended. His lawyers sought the licence’s reinstatement because he needed to drive for his work as a rural publican in Cappaghwhite, Co Tipperary.

Judge Patricia Ryan agreed to lift the ban after noting that Ryan required a car for his occupation and had attracted no adverse Garda attention since his conviction.
