The vehicle was seized, and court proceedings have been initiated.
A Garda spokesperson stated: “Let this be a warning: if you choose to drive while disqualified, uninsured, or in an unroadworthy vehicle, you are putting lives at risk — including your own.
“Checkpoints save lives. Enforcement prevents tragedy.
“There are no excuses and no shortcuts when it comes to road safety. Slow down. Stay legal. Get home safe.”
