• Former teacher remanded on bail over Portlaoise hit and run Hit and run · Co. Laois

  On April 16 at the LOETB College on Mountrath Road, Portlaoise, Jane Doherty (41), a former teacher from Knockanina, Mountrath, struck another car as she left the college car park and drove off, according to gardaí. She pleaded guilty to hit-and-run offences, including failing to remain at the scene, failing to stop, failing to report and failure to offer assistance. At Portlaoise District Court she was remanded on continuing bail, and the judge adjourned the case to clarify whether the other driver was injured. The latest development is that the case is set to be finalised on 24 September, and Doherty has undertaken to have €821.74 in damages in court at the next sitting.
