A custodial sentence was imposed on a Suncroft resident for driving with no insurance.
Sean Thackaberry, with an address given as 3582 Church View in Suncroft, The Curragh, but who is currently remanded in custody on other matters, was convicted for the offence at Naas District Court on Thursday, March 16.
The court was told that the 30-year-old was caught driving without valid insurance by gardaí at Rosetown, Oldtown in Kildare on June 19, 2020.
Mr Thackaberry pleaded guilty to the offence, and it was heard that he co-operated with gardaí at the time of the offence.
He has 57 previous convictions, 16 of which are for road traffic offences.
Five of these road traffic offences are for driving with no insurance.
It was heard that he is due to be released from prison next month.
Judge Desmond Zaidan imposed a five-month custodial sentence on Mr Thackaberry, which will run concurrent to his present sentence.
He also imposed a four-year driving disqualification on him, in addition to a fine of €400.
