ICYMI: Local landowner comes to the rescue as Kilkenny gardaí forced to chase driver

An Garda Síochana were forced to chase down a driver who failed to stop at a routine traffic stop on the Ring Road in Kilkenny on Sunday.

"He was followed, all the time refusing to stop, for a period of time and committed several counts of dangerous driving.
