‘It was a wet night and her child needed medical attention and had to go to Cork University Hospital,’ defence solicitor Conrad Murphy told the court.
Ms Kuncheva has a full Ukraninan driving licence and had no previous convictions.
The insurance on her car was cancelled on April 23rd last, the court heard.
Judge Andrew Cody imposed a €400 fine with six months to pay, and said the defendant would not be disqualified if the insurance was reinstated.
