He was brought to Henry Street Garda Station before being released. He is due to appear before Newcastle West District Court on 14 October.

Earlier this month, the Road Safety Authority released a report that showed speed was a contributory factor in 49% of the 93 fatal collisions involving a motorcyclist between 2008 and 2012.
