A man has been spared a driving ban after appearing in a Donegal court for driving without insurance.

Repka, with an address in Annagry, was charged with driving without insurance on October 12, 2026 at Port Road, Letterkenny.

Sergeant Jim Collins told the court that Gardai observed Repka driving a Volkswagen Jetta and stopped the vehicle.

A lawful demand was made for Repka to produce insurance documentation, but he failed to do so.

The court heard that the vehicle in question was his friend’s car and Repka was said to have been cooperative with Gardai.

Judge Emile Daly convicted Repka and fined him €350, allowing six months to pay. On the basis of it being Repka’s first offence and that he needs the vehicle to transport his children, Repka was not handed a disqualification.
