A Kilkenny driver who was disqualified from being behind the wheel of a vehicle and who gave a false name has been arrested.

The disqualified driver had previously encountered gardaí in a Ford Focus car when he was arrested for drug driving.

However, according to gardaí, the driver subsequently registered a Qashqai vehicle in a different name and proceeded to drive illegally.
