Cattle lorry driver gets penalty points for leakage

A fixed charge penalty notice and penalty points are to follow for the driver of the cattle truck. A spokesperson for An Garda Siochana told the Irish Farmers Journal that “liquid was leaking” because there were “incorrect facilities on board to store noxious liquid”.
