Community service for driving without insurance

MOTOR insurance offender Colin Mullins (19) of Curraduff in Kiltealy told Judge John Cheatle he was willing to carry out community service as he was convicted on the double of driving without valid cover.

Solicitor Eric Furlong said his teenaged client now realises that he cannot now drive on the public road in any circumstances.

The court heard Mullins cares for his mother who sustained serious injuries in an accident, which confine her to home.

Mr Furlong said that the accused man’s sister has taken over driving for the household.

Mullins hoped that she might also bring him to Enniscorthy to carry out his community service.

When she is not available, then he will order a taxi, the judge was assured. Stints of 120 and 80 hours of work were recorded in lieu of prison sentences
