False registration plates on car

IACOB TIBERIUS of 4 Riverview Court in Enniscorthy put 2005 registration plates on a 2003 Seat Alhambra, the District Court was told.

The defendant, who had a previous conviction for forgery, also applied for a replacement tax disc to support the deception.

Solicitor Macarten O’Gorman described his client’s actions as extremely stupid.

The court learned that Tiberius had two children and a wife with a serious health condition.

A fine of €350 was prescribed, along with a two year driving ban.
