Case No. 20260Driving without a licence; failing to produce a licence · Co. Kildare · 21 Aug 2022

Allenwood resident in court over driving without licence

Troy Jordan, 53, of Allenwood, County Kildare, is being prosecuted for driving without a licence and failing to produce a licence at Allenwood South on 21 August 2022. The case was reported on 20 July 2023 after a hearing at Naas District Court, where the defence sought to have it struck out. The prosecuting garda was absent because he was on a course in Templemore, and Sgt Dave Hanrahan applied for an adjournment, which the defence opposed. The matter was adjourned to 13 December, and the adjournment was described as peremptory, so the case will go ahead on that date.
