Driver’s third insurance offence

A driver was convicted of his third insurance offence at Sligo District Court last Thursday.

Ms Laura Spellman, solicitor (defending) pleaded that the defendant was now insured as a named driver on his wife’s policy.

He wasn’t working due to an injury but was an actor and travelled regularly to Dublin for this. He was the father of a six month old child.

Nothing that this was the defendant’s third conviction, Judge Kevin Kilrane imposed a four month jail term but suspended it for three years.

He also banned the defendant for seven years.
