Counsel prosecuting said checks were carried by police and the defendant was not named on the insurance policy and could not produce a policy at a local police station.
A defence lawyer pointed out that this was the defendant’s second no insurance.
Pleading for leniency, he said for a young a man he was beginning to build up a history for insurance offences.
The lawyer said Maguire was employed with a roofing company.
