The driver was found to have an active bench warrant and was arrested at the scene.
Laois Roads Policing Unit stopped a van being 'held together by string and hope.'
The Ford transit had no CVRT and no tax, with damage to every panel, a side door that wouldn’t open, broken tail lights, and a rear door operated by string instead of a handle.
Gardaí say it’s been a while since they encountered one in such poor condition.
The driver was discovered to be the subject of a live bench warrant and was arrested at the scene.
The van has been seized and court proceedings have commenced.
