probably best to appear. not sure if money is well spent ... on a solicitor to say same thingYou need to re-orient yourself here.
forget the “my wife is a victim” mentality.
go to the court,explain the backstory , apologise and hope for the best.
by all means take legal advice. But she Should appear herself and apologise personally
Couldn’t happen if you read the post. Car was seized immediately, and quite rightlyAlso the title of your post is disingenuous, the Garda was doing his job, she had no insurance, what would the public say if she were let through that checkpoint and hit a kid on a bike at the next junction.
But it was a genuine error absolutely 100 per cent . No intent .... whatsoever. The Garda told me on the phone also my ex wife , that he accepted it was a genuine error. In his words he said “ I propose to deal with the matter as follows .....

dont be obtuse , the OP clearly outlines the sequence of events , the guard said he would take their explanation at face value and then apparently devised a practical solution by impounding and on the spot fine only to do a 180 and then subsequently decided to peg them under the bus .
had the guard given them chapter and verse from the start , it would not be as contemptible
I'm not, the title is disingenuous, we only have one side of this story, the Guards always get the bashing but in this story we have just one side, it may be 100% correct but that's a big headline statement, let the Judge decide.
It's not the worst offence and I'm sure on the day will be dealt with on the easy side of the scales of justice but the Garda is entitled to issue that summons, his boss could have insisted upon it or he could have changed his mind.
I’m not bashing the Garda. I agree absolutely no insurance is outrageous and should be prosecuted. He is doing his job properly. No issue. He is doing exactly the opposite of what he promised he would do.I'm not, the title is disingenuous, we only have one side of this story, the Guards always get the bashing but in this story we have just one side, it may be 100% correct but that's a big headline statement, let the Judge decide.

" we only have one side of the story "
you could say that about virtually any story on this site or any other , if we arent going to take people at face value , the whole thing is a bit of a farce .
lame arguement palerider
Better if he was truthful from the start ... whets new
arising from this issue when insurance was taken out the next day.
