Former Cork City soccer manager Ger Nash has been charged with drink driving and dangerous driving.<\/p>\n
He was arrested at 2.55am on November 6, 2025, at the Lakeview Roundabout, Midleton by Garda Jerome Maher.<\/p>\n
He was subsequently charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and with dangerous driving.<\/p>\n
He resigned from managing Cork City following his arrest.<\/p>\n
Judge Colm Roberts set a date for hearing on May 14 in Midleton District Court.<\/p>\n
Defence solicitor Graham Hyde of Thomas Coughlan\u2019s Solicitors, said he had received the statements in the case but formally requested a copy of the garda notebook from the incident.<\/p>\n
Sgt O\u2019Leary said that this would be shown to the solicitor on the day of the hearing as were the rules, before court commenced.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurn up early,\u201d Judge Roberts said.<\/p>\n
Mr Nash, 39, formerly of Fota Island, Cork, and now living in Sweden, was not present in court.<\/p>\n
He was remanded on bail until May 14.<\/p>\n
Mr Nash led Cork City to the FAI Cup final, although they were beaten 2-0 by league champions Shamrock Rovers.<\/p>\n
His resignation came days before Christmas and just weeks ahead of the start of the First Division.<\/p>\n
He had taken over as the club\u2019s manager midway through the 2025 season after former manager Tim Clancy’s resignation.<\/p>\n
Cork City had been relegated and Mr Nash said his aim was to lead the club back to the Premier Division in 2026.<\/p>\n
But just a couple of days before Christmas, Cork City FC posted on social media that Mr Nash had resigned with immediate effect for personal reasons.<\/p>\n
“Cork City FC has been informed by men\u2019s first team manager Ger Nash of his decision to step down from the role, with immediate effect,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
“The club would like to thank Ger for his efforts throughout the 2025 season. Ger Nash has indicated to the club that the decision was made for personal reasons.<\/p>\n
“The search for a new manager will begin immediately.”<\/p>\n
Mr Nash also previously played for Ipswich Town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Cork City soccer manager Ger Nash has been charged with drink driving and dangerous driving.
