Cashel gardai stopped a van driver over the weekend and found that alongside having a fake licence (among the noticeable giveaways were fada's facing the wrong way), the van had not been taxed since 2015 and did not have a certificate of road worthiness.
The car and licence were seized by gardai with the driver ordered to appear in court.
