"If you are caught behind the wheel again, you will be going to prison, my friend. Judge Raymond Finnegan's warning to Luke Ryan, emphasizing that any future driving violations would result in immediate imprisonment rather than suspended sentences, reflecting the court's escalating response to repeated breaches of driving restrictions."

Luke Ryan, a 25-year-old steelwork fabricator, received a six-year driving disqualification and three consecutive five-month suspended prison sentences from Judge Raymond Finnegan. Ryan's offenses occurred within five weeks during October and November of the previous year, while he was only three months into an existing 12-month disqualification period. The incidents involved drug driving and driving without insurance on two separate occasions in Monaghan. The judge's stern warning indicated serious consequences for future violations, emphasizing the severity of repeatedly breaking driving laws while already under court-ordered restrictions.
