Sinn Féin MEP Liadh Ní Riada fined €100 for speeding

A Sinn Féin MEP was yesterday convicted and fined for speeding.

Liadh Ní Riada was not present in Macroom District Court as Judge James McNulty heard that, on September 29, 2014, her car was observed travelling at a speed of 128km/h on the N22 Cork-Killarney road at Farran, Ovens.

Solicitor Sean Cahill, who represented the Ireland South MEP, said his client was unable to attend court, but wished to apologise for the incident.
