Judge called defendant a gobshite

During a recent sitting of Naas District Court in County Kildare, Ireland, Sean Byrne, 24, was answering charges of driving without insurance.
Byrne, who has 14 previous convictions for driving offenses, was called a gobshite by Judge John Coughlan during his sentencing.
The judge made the statement as Byrne's solicitor, Tony Hanahoe, was making a defense for his client. "He's a gobshite," interrupted Judge Coughlan. "It's the nicest thing I can say about him," he added.
Of his 14 previous conviction, two of those are for driving without insurance, the same reason Byrne was in court. "If it reaches four, he'll be in Mountjoy (Prison)," warned the Judge before handing down a six-year driving ban and a fine of €500.
