GARDAÍ have detained Ian Bailey (65) on suspicion of drink driving in west Cork.
A sample has now been submitted by gardaí for testing to determine what further action, if any, will result.
Mr Bailey was stopped shortly after 9pm on Sunday by gardaí as part of a routine traffic check outside Bantry.
One source said the vehicle involved was believed to have been driving in an erratic manner.
Mr Bailey was asked by officers of the West Cork Roads Policing Unit to submit a breath sample.
However, it is understood there was a difficulty in respect of securing a proper breath sample at the scene and Mr Bailey was taken to Bantry Garda Station where an alternative sample was secured.
