His supercar was confiscated but has since been returned to him, according to the Irish Independent.
The 33-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving and is due to appear in Blanchardstown District Court next month.

A spokeswoman for McGregor told MailOnline: McGregor was driving to the gym when he was pulled over by police for alleged traffic violations.
“He passed drug and alcohol tests taken at the station.”
A spokesman for the Garda confirmed that the man was arrested in connection with the incident and taken to the Lukan police station. He has since been released.
A police statement said: “Last night, Tuesday, March 22, 2022, police arrested a man in his 30s in connection with a dangerous driving incident in the Palmerstown area.
“The man was taken to the Lucan Garda police station, where he was later charged.
“He was released pending a later appearance in Blanchardstown District Court.”

McGregor is currently on a comeback path and has not fought since losing to Dustin Poirier last July in a fight in which he broke his leg in his third loss in four matches.
The “infamous” former two-weight world champion is expected to return to the octagon later this year and has vowed to fight for a world title again despite losing his last two fights.
Although a return date and opponent has yet to be confirmed, McGregor is reportedly keen to face the winner of Justin Gaethje vs. Charles Oliveira in May with a mooted return in early July.
