A registration check listed Keenan as the registered owner.
A fixed charge penalty fine was issued, but it went unpaid.
Defence solicitor Brid Mimnagh said there was no evidence her client had been driving the vehicle.
“I don't know if you will take a certain course judge, I think there may be bigger fish to fry on that," she added.
However, Judge Bernadette Owens decided to impose a €100 fine.
