Longford man receives suspended sentence after pleading guilty to reckless driving
Defendant also made donation of €500 to St Christopher's Services, Longford
A driver who made a donation of €500 to a local charity received a five month suspended sentence at Longford District Court for committing a serious motoring offence.
Ronan Noone (33) of Ballycloughan Carrickaboy pleaded guilty to recklessly engaging in conduct which creates a substantial risk of death or serious harm to another on November 26, 2022 at Toonee, Moydow.
Judge Bernadette Owens was informed that Mr Noone had made the donation of €500 to St Christopher's Services, Longford, as previously recommended by the court.
Judge Owens registered the conviction and imposed a custodial sentence of five months on the defendant, but suspended it for five months for a period of five months on the defendants own bond of €250.
Recognition was fixed in the event of an appeal, however Mr Noone's solicitor, Frank Gearty, said his client would not appeal the sentence.
