• Disqualified driver jailed after driving past gardaí in Kilkenny Driving without insurance and without a licence · Co. Kilkenny

  On July 9, 2025, just before 10am, a garda stopped at traffic lights on Hebron Road in Kilkenny saw Edward O'Reilly drive past while he was disqualified from driving. When stopped, he was asked for his driving documents and refused to sign the garda's notebook to say he was driving, and he was later charged with driving without insurance, without a licence and failing to produce documents. After a guilty plea, Kilkenny District Court jailed him for five months and banned him from driving for 10 years on June 24, 2026, with the other charges taken into consideration and recognisance fixed in the event of an appeal.
