There are not many solicitors that will advise me on free legal aid as I’m on disability.

Any use?

is car was taken as the insurance disc was not visible. He showed the Guard his policy in digital format but they weren’t satisfied with that?

That is to be expected, the law is clear in that a valid disc must be displayed. The standard process at that point is to agree a station to which you must bring the insurance certificate within 7 days. Gardai are now able to look up insurance status, so they may no longer insist on you bringing the cert in to a station, but that still doesn't cancel the offence of failure to display.

@Yvonneg - what is it you're actually asking?

If you can be clear on that, maybe (only maybe) somebody can offer some constructive advice.

I say only maybe because based on your posts so far I still believe only a solicitor can possibly assist in a meaningful way.
