A PETROL station in
Inishowen has been ordered to close for 24-hours
after the owner's conviction for selling marked
fuel. McD Fuels in Burnfoot has been told to stop
trading for one day on November 10, next. The
proprietor, Damian McDaid, was also fined €3,500
after he appeared at Buncrana District Court.
Revenue officer, Bernadette Murray, told the court
she stopped a woman driving a 4x4 at Ballyderowen,
Burnfoot, on April 7, last year. The vehicle's tank
was dipped and it tested positive for marked mineral
oil, namely a blue dye. The woman said she had just
filled her vehicle at McD Fuels, known locally as
McDaid's. A sample was subsequently taken at McD
Fuels which tested positive for marked fuel. The
defendant had no previous convictions, State
solicitor Ciaran Liddy told the court. Judge Paul
Kelly gave the defendant three months to pay the
fine. |
