A 51-year-old Ramsey man has admitted drink-driving while more than triple the legal limit, and on bail for another offence.

Hugh Adam MacDonald, of Faaie Wyllin, had previously pleaded guilty to failing to provide a sample of breath on a different date.

He will be sentenced on January 15 after a probation report has been prepared.

The failure to provide a breath sample offence was committed on May 2.

While on bail for that, MacDonald was then arrested for drink-driving on June 27, at the 33rd milestone on the Mountain Road, failing a breathalyser test with a reading of 126, with the limit being 35.

Defence advocate Stephen Wood requested the probation report and the defendant was bailed until sentencing.
