Gardaí bring Donegal mum to Dublin in taxi over unpaid TV licence fine

A terrified single mum was taken by gardaí in a taxi from Donegal to Dublin for not paying the full fine on a TV licence offence.

However, after three hours in the women’s prison Dóchas, she was given a voucher for a bus home.

The woman, in her 40s, had paid €212 of a district court fine of €450 for not having a €160 TV licence.
