District Judge, Mr Desmond Perry stated he would take the “rather unusual” step of deferring sentence and did so until March 10, 2011.
“I could send you to a Young Offenders’ Centre for a fair bit of time,” he told Speirs, adding: “If you get behind the wheel of a car without all the necessary documents you will, in March next year, be going to a Young Offenders’ Centre”.
