• Clonmany man cleared of failing to wear seatbelt on medical grounds Failure to wear a seatbelt · Co. Donegal

  Richard Doherty, a 70-year-old man from Clonmany in Donegal, was charged with failing to wear a seatbelt after Garda Sergeant Vincent Muldoon saw him without one at Churchland Quarters, Carndonagh, on 9 October 2024. The defence said he had a serious shoulder injury and handed in a medical certificate, and the exemption was signed in June 2025, after the offence date. On 29 June 2025 at Carndonagh District Court, Judge Ciaran Liddy dismissed the charge, giving him the benefit of the doubt. The charge was dismissed on medical grounds, so the case has ended without a conviction.
