This one here is some bad egg, she was barred from living in one of the worst city council estates in cork as she was so much trouble
A garda has told Kilkenny District Court how she was screamed at by a âtotally out of controlâ Catriona Carey after she informed her that her uninsured car would be seized.
A suspended prison sentence has been handed down to Ms Carey for her second offence of driving without a licence or insurance while disqualified from driving.
Ms Carey, 2 Weir View Hill, Castlecomer Road, Kilkenny, appeared before Kilkenny District Court this morning (Monday) following a warning in her absence last week that failing to appear would result in a bench warrant being issued.
Barrister Kevin Roche, for Ms Carey, said his client pleaded guilty to all four charges: driving without insurance and without a driving licence at Weir View, Kilkenny, on December 10, 2021, also driving without insurance and without a driving licence at Glendine, Castlecomer Road, Kilkenny, on November 21, 2021.
Garda Chapman told the court that on November 21, 2021, she was operating a garda speed check at Glendine, Kilkenny. At 3.50pm she observed a BMW driving at 70kph in a 50kph zone. The garda stopped the car and spoke to the driver, Ms Carey.
Garda Chapman asked Ms Carey for her driving licence. She told the garda she didnât have it on her at the time but she did have a picture of it on her phone.
The garda used her mobile device to scan the licence and it came up that Ms Carey was disqualified from driving and had failed to hand in her licence.
It was explained to Ms Carey that she was disqualified and she did not have a valid licence, which meant she was not covered by insurance.
The garda informed Ms Carey she was going to seize the car. At this Ms Carey screamed at the garda and refused to hand over the keys. âShe was totally out of control,â the garda said. Ms Carey wanted to know how she was going to get her kids to school and do the shopping.
The car was seized.
Ms Carey eventually calmed down, the garda told the court.
Garda Loughnane gave evidence that on December 10, 2021, he observed Ms Carey driving at Weir View. He was aware at the time that she was disqualified from driving, on penalty points.
The garda stopped Ms Carey and informed her she was disqualified. Ms Carey asked: âAre you targeting me?â And asked was she being picked on. âDo you expect me to get taxis?â
He asked for her licence and insurance documents.
Mr Roche put it to both gardaĂ that Ms Careyâs guilty pleas were of assistance, which they agreed.
He also told the court that there had been some confusion about Ms Careyâs final set of penalty points, which pushed her over the edge to disqualification, and she had been attempting to appeal them.
Mr Roche said his client had never been banned from driving in a court and it was not a case that she had âflagrantly disregardedâ a court order.
There were three previous convictions recorded against Ms Carey, including a speeding offence at Carlow District Court in October 2018, and an eight month suspended prison sentence handed down to her in Kilkenny District Court in February 2020 on a theft charge.
Mr Roche said his client had asked him to apologise in court for her previous non-attendance. She had attempted to engage a solicitor and was under the misapprehension she didnât have to appear if she was represented in court.
Mr Roche said this was a technical matter but Ms Carey was not âplaying ducks and drakesâ with the court and was pleading guilty.
Ms Carey, 44, is a mother of two and their primary carer, Mr Roche said. These offences occurred at the height of the pandemic and Ms Carey had to drive for the care of her children.
Mr Roche said his client especially wanted to apologise to Garda Chapman for the events at the side of the road.
He asked the court to be as lenient as possible.
Judge Geraldine Carthy said she noted the apology and the mitigation from Mr Roche.
For driving without insurance on the November date Ms Carey was convicted and fined âŹ300. She was also disqualified from driving for two years.
Judge Carthy said it was âvery difficult to offer an excuseâ for the second incident, on December 10, when Ms Carey had been stopped on November 21, then she got into the car again knowing full well that she was disqualified.
For driving without insurance on the second date Ms Carey was convicted and a sentence of three months imprisonment handed down. This is to be suspended for 12 months on condition Ms Carey enter a bond to keep the peace.
She was also disqualified from driving for four years.
Not having a driving licence was taken into consideration.
Recognisance was fixed in the event of an appeal.
Miss Justice Carthy appears to be a bit of a soft touch.

A bad egg that wan
Not a great look JudgeâŚ
and who says âhoochâ?
Is the judge trying to say that crimes committed by foreigners are out of control?
thatâs an interesting interpretation.
Not sure if anyone would know , Iâll try @Fagan_ODowd @artfoley if you identified a judge in a district court that maybe sympathetic to your case , is there much manoeuvring that can be done by your solicitor/barrister to try to get your case heard on day that the said judge would be sitting ?
No idea. Iâd say @anon67715551 type character is your best bet here.
