Collins gets 12-year ban for driving while disqualified

Former State witness April Collins has been banned from driving for 12 years and warned she will go to jail if she is caught driving while disqualified again.

The 26-year-old mother of four was halfway through a four-year road ban when she was stopped by Sgt David Callanan in Limerick City last year.

The former partner of convicted Limerick criminal Ger Dundon pleaded guilty to nine road traffic offences at Limerick District Court yesterday, including a charge of driving while disqualified.
