latest first- Man jailed for five years over hit-and-run in Blanchardstown Fatal road traffic collision (hit-and-run) · Co. Dublin
On 26 December 2024, John Halpin, 46, a man from Blanchardstown, drove an Audi through a red light at 85 km/h in a 60 km/h zone and struck Anthony Hogg, 40, and Georgina Hogg Moore, 39, a married couple, at a pedestrian crossing on Blanchardstown Road North near Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Dublin 15, killing both. Their 16-year-old daughter Becky Joy Hogg was also struck and injured, while two other pedestrians were unharmed. Halpin left the scene and presented himself at Blanchardstown Garda Station around 10 pm; he was charged with dangerous driving causing death and hit-and-run offences, and Nicole Fallon, 36, a woman, was charged with impeding his apprehension. Both pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in March 2026, and on 21 May 2026 Halpin was sentenced to five years in prison and a 10-year driving ban, while Fallon received a three-year suspended sentence.
