Mr Allen, with an address at Ballinamona, Shangarry, Co Cork, faces a single count of dangerous driving. The alleged offence is contrary to Section 53 of the Road Traffic Act.

Mr Allen is charged with driving in such a manner, considering speed and other factors, as to be a danger to himself and the public.

A certificate of arrest, charge and caution was handed in to Midleton District Court in Co Cork this morning.

The alleged offence occurred in the townland of Monagunna on the R629 road in Shanagarry, Co Cork, on October 27th last.
