Cases
latest first- Man jailed for dangerous driving causing death in Ballingeary Dangerous driving causing death · Co. Cork
A car driven by 42-year-old Michael Lucey struck a group of pedestrians outside the Old Forge Bar on Main Street, Ballingeary, Co Cork, at 1.10am on 13 December 2022, killing 51-year-old physiotherapist Gobnait Twomey and seriously injuring two other women. Lucey, a farmer from Ballingeary, had attended his father's funeral and reception earlier that day and was found to be three times over the drink-driving limit. He was arrested at the scene and pleaded guilty at Cork Circuit Criminal Court in November 2023 to dangerous driving causing death, driving while intoxicated, and a second charge of dangerous driving. On 14 February 2024, Judge Colin Daly sentenced Lucey to three years' imprisonment with the final 18 months suspended and disqualified him from driving for five years.
