Five road traffic charges against Sean Quinn jnr were struck out when he appeared before the Dublin District Court today.
Quinn, who is currently in Mountjoy jail, having been found in contempt of court by the High Court in a civil case involving the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC), was brought from prison for the brief hearing.
At about midday, he was brought from the holding cell underneath Court 46 beside Bridewell Garda station to appear before Judge John O'Connor.
The charges against Quinn included the failure to produce a driver's licence when stopped in his 2007 Mercedes CLS63 AMG on Conyngham Road, Dublin 8, on April 21st, 2011.
Quinn was also charged with failure to produce insurance, for driving without a licence, failure to produce a licence within 10 days and failure to produce an insurance certificate within ten days.
Garda David Cullen of the traffic department told the court Mr Quinn had now produced his driver's licence and insurance certificate, and the charges for driving without insurance and without a licence were struck out.
Solicitor Richard Young of Sheehan solicitors, for Quinn, told Judge O'Connor the incidents had occurred around the time Quinn's companies were placed in receivership and that in the circumstances, Quinn failed in his obligations to produce the documents within 10 days.
Judge O'Connor then struck out the remaining charges.
Quinn's brother-in-law, solicitor Niall McPartland, attended the court in personal capacity.
After the brief hearing, Quinn was returned to the holding cell, and at 12.30pm he was driven in a prison van back to Mountjoy.
The IBRC, which now includes the former Anglo Irish Bank, brought a contempt case against Mr Quinn jnr, his father Seán Quinn, and his father's nephew, Peter Darragh Quinn, earlier this year as part of a dispute over debts owned to Anglo and an associated international property portfolio.
Anglo Irish Bank seized the Quinn Group on April 4th last year following the non-repayment of more than €2 billion owed to the bank by the Quinn family.
