Arkadijs Jermolajevs (46) of 2 Dublin Road, Portlaoise, was convicted of driving without insurance at Fr. Browne Road, Portlaoise on April 29 last.
Detective Garda David Montgomery told a sitting of Portlaoise District Court that the driver was stopped and his insurance disc was “deemed to be fraudulent”.

Judge Andrew Cody fined the man €750 and disqualified him from driving for five years.
