The partner of Clare Sinn Féin TD, Violet-Anne Wynne, John Montaine (39) is contesting a Garda ‘no insurance’ prosecution.

At Kilrush District Court sitting in Ennis, solicitor for Mr Montaine of Pella Road, Kilrush, Patrick Moylan said that insurers, Liberty Insurance have sent in a certificate of insurance to gardaí for Mr Montaine. In response, Sgt Louis Moloney told the court that “it is not a certificate of insurance - it is a schedule of insurance”.
