Ireland Two-year-old killed in Limerick hit-and-run
A two-year-old child was killed in a hit-and-run in County Limerick, according to a report published on 7 September 2026. That report says the child had just started preschool, but it gives no exact incident date and no name for the child. An earlier report dated 5 September 2026 describes a road collision in Limerick that killed a two-year-old and says a driver was arrested, but the articles do not confirm that it is the same incident. No charge or court appearance is reported, so the latest development is the 7 September 2026 report.

The reporting
newest first- 7 Sep2026Two-year-old killed in Limerick hit-and-run had just started preschool
The article body is search-widget template code with no story text. The headline gives the victim's age, the county and that the child was killed in a hit-and-run, and says the child had just started preschool. It appears to match existing case 8103 (two-year-old killed in a Limerick road collision, 5 September 2026), but the 'hit-and-run' wording differs from that case's report of an arrested driver.
