Case No. 17786Driving without insurance, NCT or tax · Co. Donegal · 23 Mar 2024

Car seized in Mountcharles, Donegal, for no insurance, NCT and expired tax

Gardaí in south Donegal seized a car from a motorist in Mountcharles on Saturday 23 March 2024 because it had no insurance, no NCT and tax that had expired over four years earlier. The motorist is not named, and the report gives no age, sex or nationality. Gardaí said fixed charge penalty notices and a summons will be issued, and Donegal Live reported the seizure on 25 March 2024. The latest development is that the penalty notices and summons were still to be issued at the time of that report.
