The bad news for Conor McGregor was that the Judge hering his case for various road traffic offences determined that McGregor engaged in an appalling series of dangerous driving incidents.
“An appalling episode of dangerous driving”, said the Judge in Blanchardstown District Court.
The good news for McGregor is the Judge gave him a five month jail sentence but suspended it in its entirety on condition that McGregor keeps the peace for 2 years. He imposed a fine of €5,000 and a 2 year driving ban.
Yes, McGregor pleaded guilty to two of the road traffic offences: one of dangerous driving, one of careless driving.
McGregor has 20 previous criminal convictions, including 17 for road traffic offences.
Here’s a question that might cross the minds of observers of the law and justice: if this was a driver from Ballymun or Darndale or Ronanstown or Finglas, an unknown individual working in a factory or on a site as a security guard, with 17 previous road traffic convictions, would he have been given a fully suspended sentence?
Just wondering..
