Ian Bailey has sought to have his conviction for drug driving quashed on the basis he was given a drink of water by gardaí just minutes before undergoing an oral drug test in a Cork garda station.

Mr Bailey’s legal team has submitted that the drink of water – given just minutes before he underwent the Drager 5000 oral drug test at Bantry Garda Station in west Cork – “blatantly compromised” the subsequent test result.
