I think not... I smell a rat here, the judge got off rather lightly with a €600 fine. He should have been arrested and asked to provide a blood or urine sample. If he still refused, the law is pretty clear:
Drink drivers who refuse to give a urine or blood sample get automatic four-year ban for first offence. This rises to a automatic ban of six years for a second offence.

Is Dr Jim too busy with his personal finance issues to do his job?
The Department of Health failed to act as the financial position in the health service deteriorated over recent months, HSE chief executive Cathal Magee has claimed.
In letters to the Department of Health, Mr Magee repeatedly pressed for decisions to be taken and policy directions to be given to deal with the financial position.
In early April he said guidance was required from Minister for Health James Reilly and the Department of Health to the HSE on how projected overspending would be financed and how cost-cutting would affect services.http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...breaking1.htmlIn his letter on June 7th to Mr McLoughlin, Mr Magee said he shared the concerns about the financial position of the HSE, in particular the deficits carried over by hospitals from last year, the funding of retirement packages for staff who left prior to pension changes in February and the failure of the Government to negotiate price cuts with the pharmaceutical industry and to introduce legislation to improve income charging and collection from health insurers.
“There were explicit decisions made as part of the development of the service plan, the impact of which is to leave acute hospitals with significant financial challenges and, by implication, service issues.
“I recognise that the decisions required are weighty and will impact on services. However, the failure to act now will mean that the financial position will not improve.”

Is this an attempt at a show of strength by Mr. Beans I wonder. If his rag could claim a scalp he could put a lot of pressure on Gump and the gang.
Wilson made the ludicrous suggestion that Howlin could be shifted to Health. Doesn't she realise that Howlin's Department of Administrative Affairs is meant to be a consolation prize to Lab to make up for their failure to secure Finance?
Gump leaps to the defence of Reilly and hints that Magee wasn't up to the job.
