A man who was involved in a two vehicle accident was convicted and fined at Castlebar District Court this week.
On June 1 2011 gardaí attended a traffic accident at Islandeady at 4.55pm. A car had pulled out in front of the car of Brian Joyce, Keelogues, Ballyvary. Both cars were removed from the scene and were examined by gardaí. Two bald tyres were detected on Joyce’s car.

Judge Mary Devins convicted and fined him €50 in respect of each tyre.
