The son of ex-billionaire Sean Quinn has appeared in court after he forgot to produce a valid insurance certificate as his family's empire was put into receivership.
Sean Quinn Junior, 33, was brought from his cell at Mountjoy Prison's training unit to Dublin District Court, where the charge was struck out.
He was jailed in July for contempt of court after his family members were found guilty of moving assets beyond the reach of the former Anglo Irish Bank.
Judge John O'Connor heard he had forgotten to produce an insurance certificate to a garda when he was stopped on April 21 2011 as the Quinn Group was being put into receivership.
Garda David Cullen said a valid certificate had now been produced.
The accused's brother-in-law, solicitor Niall McPartland, was allowed to speak to him for a few moments at the Bridewell courthouse.
Sean Jnr, of Farmleigh Woods in Castleknock, Dublin, was stopped on Conyngham Road in Dublin in a 07 D registered vehicle and was later charged with having no insurance and failing to produce a certificate of insurance or his driving licence.
Two other related charges were previously struck out.
Sean Jnr and his cousin Peter Darragh Quinn, son of former GAA president Peter Quinn, were jailed for three months after the High Court found the family hid almost 500 million euro from the now-nationalised Anglo Irish Bank - which is owed about two billion euro by the Quinns.
The pair, and Sean Senior, were found guilty of putting assets beyond the reach of their creditors.
