A judge said he does not know how a west Clare man is alive after readings show that on two occasions he was 61 times and 46 times over the legal limit for cocaine while driving. Solicitor for Kenny, Patrick Moylan, said that based on the cocaine readings before the court, Kenny “should be dead”. The legal limit for Benzoylecgonine when driving is 50 ng/ml, and Judge Gabbett said that this was 46 times over the limit. Judge Gabbett said that on December 4th, 2024, Kenny was “exceptionally intoxicated” while driving with the amount of cocaine he had consumed. Kenny told Judge Gabbett he was off the rails at the time of the offending, but that now, “I am trying my best, I really am”.
