Gardaí seek car doing 87.9mph, with tax 30 years out of date

As the world marks Back to the Future Day, it seems the gardaí are no  exception.

Today is the day that Marty McFly went back to the future with Doc Brown in 1985.

He left in a DeLorean, hit 88mph and found himself in 2015 - October 21st, to be precise.

The lead up to the day, and the day itself, have been marked by millions of people - not least of all Dr Emmet 'Doc' Brown.

‘Rotund man on small bike’ to pay €250 to poor-box over ‘drive-by’ insult of Garda

A “slightly rotund” man has been found guilty of a “drive-by” insult of a garda and ordered to pay €250 to the poor-box.
